Late production Mustangs sometimes has a slightly more bulged canopy known as 'Dallas hood' .
Some of the Mustangs operated by the Dutch air force in the Netherlands East Indies were fitted with these hoods!

I first time met this type of hood in the old 1/72 scale model of Mustang by Heller.

For the next three years the squadron operated as a tactical reconnaissance squadron, first around the UK coast line, look for the possible German attacks. In June 1943, the squadron was equipped with Mustang I's.

In September 1944 the squadron became part of the Second Tactical Air Force (2 TAF) and moved to Belgium and completed its service at Eindhoven, in Holland.
