Historical Information

The North American F-6C was a modification of the legendary Mustang, adjusted to carry out photographic reconnaissance missions. These aircraft were widely used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), mainly during World War II on all fronts—from Western Europe to the Pacific. Thanks to the installation of specialized photographic equipment, the F-6C conducted missions over enemy territory, providing crucial intelligence necessary for planning Allied military operations.

Period of use: World War II (years 1943–1945). For example, the F-6C was used during preparations for the Normandy landings (D-Day) as well as in campaigns over Italy and Germany.
