The only difference between the North American P-51B and C variants was the B was built in
Inglewood and the C in Dallas. The B variant first flew on May 5, 1943 and the C variant first flew
on August 5, 1943. The B variant saw 1,988 built while the C variant saw 1,750 built. On
December 1, 1943 the P-51B Mustang flew its first combat mission and in March 1944 provided
bomber escort to Berlin. The high shape of the P-51B/C dorsal spine gave it the name
“Razorback”.
Captain Forrest H. Parham was born in Canada but was raised in Minnesota and served with the
US military in WWII and Korea. Forrest Parham was a member of the legendary Flying Tigers in
the 75th FS/23rd FG based in Luliang, China. In August and September 1944 Capt. Parham
scored his first three victories while flying a P-40N and in November 1944, now equipped with a
P-51C Mustang “Little Jeep” he scored his last victories making him an Ace. In April 1945 Parham
was shot down in a P-51D and evaded capture.
