Trivia

• The Mustang is the first aircraft in the Strikers 1945 series that was demoted from playable to support.
• In the Android version, this aircraft starts with its main shot at level 2 and 3 bombs, but will be locked for 2 hours starting with the moment it was selected, along with the Spitfire Mk. VII, Messerschmitt Bf-109, Zero Fighter, and J7W Shinden.
  • This is no longer the case as of September 24, 2020. It instead can be unlocked by playing the game 100 times.
