One of the more obvious facts on this list is that the P-51 Mustang continued to see service after WWII - most notably in Korea. While flying in the conflict, the fighter was operated by South Africa, Australia and South Korea, with the United States bringing its units - now designated F-51s - out of storage.

Throughout the conflict, the F-51s performed slightly different tasks to those undertaken during the Second World War. While they still participated in ground attacks on Communist targets, they also took part in photo reconnaissance.
