01/31/2008. When by mid-1944 the P-51D was in full production, it was decided to produce a photographic reconnaissance version and subsequently the North American Aviation works at Hensley Field (near Dallas, Texas), produced 136 F-6D-20-NT and F-6D-25-NTs. They differed from the interceptor version in having oblique and vertical cameras installed in the rear fuselage and additional radio and D/F (radiotelegraphy) equipment. |
