The P-51D version of the Mustang retained all of the great features of its predecessor, with
important added improvements. Chief among these are the increased visibility for the pilot in a new
"bubble" canopy, more convenient cockpit arrangement, and heavier firepower with six .50-cal
machine guns fitted in the wings. The 'D' also featured a new dorsal fin to improve directional
stability problems encountered when the rear fuselage area of the previous models was reduced to
increase rear visibility from the cockpit.
