The North American P-51 Mustang was one of the main workhorses of the Tactical Forces Military's Global Air Combat branch in the second World War, flying alongside the Supermarine Spitfire series, and the Yakovlev Yak-9 series across all fronts.

Having seen combat throughout the world, the Mustang had it's look changed depending on the front they fought in. Below are just some of the camouflage examples issued by TFM Central Command to it's deployed fighter wings:



TFMGAC Type I Western Front/European Campaign Camogreen pattern

  • Used throughout the entire war in Europe
  • Remained in use even during the Korean War. Was revived and extensively used on fighter jets during the Vietnam War.


TFMGAC Type II Eastern Front/Stalingrad Battle Camogreen pattern

  • An alternative to the Type I pattern. If squadrons lacked green paint, brown was used instead.
  • Largely used by the TFMGAC contingent in the USSR, fighting alongside the Soviet Air Force in battles during Spring or Summer season.


TFMGAC Type III Frozen Rock pattern

  • Primary winter pattern used on every plane of the TFMGAC operating in the frigid northern sectors of the war. Very common during the snowy seasons.
  • Provides excellent camouflage against snow/frost terrain


TFMGAC Type V Chocolate-Milk pattern

  • Alternative to the Type III pattern. Less common, but nonetheless used.
  • Named after the obvious coloration to the two drinks it resembles.


TFMGAC Type IX-A Camoblue Pacific Campaign pattern

  • Nicknamed the Tidal Wave pattern by pilots.
  • Standard fighter camouflage used by the TFMGAC across the Pacific Theater. Worked well under a clear sky against water.


TFMGAC Type IX-B Camoblue Pacific Campaign pattern

  • Alternative to the Type IX-A pattern. Formulated after squadrons ran out of blue paint to make the former camouflage.
  • Half of the TFMGAC fighters in the Pacific bore this pattern.
