My object for the imperial war museum is a P-51 Mustang Fighter Plain, made by the North American plain company. It is a grey fighter plain that is small but filled with style. The plain has a white and black-checkered tip that looks like a very funny and cool nose. It has a black tail with the numbers 472218 and on either side of the air plain you can see three things. Towards the front of the plain in black cursive letters that are outlined in red you have the name of he plain – Big Beautiful Doll. The middle part of the plain has the letters “WZ” in black with a red outline. Towards the back of the fighter plain you have a drawing of the plain’s wings – a black circle with wings coming out of it and a white star in the center. Lastly, on the left hand side of the plain there were about fifty check marks in an almost perfect dot box square shape
It is the highest air plain in the museum. The plain hangs from the ceiling at eyelevel for people in the top floor. I first saw it when I walked into the museum and looked up, but I was able to see it more up close when I got to the third floor, right before entering the wing of the museum that is the concentration camps during WWII.
The history of this plain was very much the same as any other fighter plain during WWII. Both the pilot and his plain were in charge of protecting its country and attacking the enemy. This plain caught my attention because of the unique way in which it was painted. To me the plain represents a young brave soldier who is proud of who and what he is fighting for. Most importantly what amazed me about this plain is the check marks on the plain, which represented the number of enemy plains that this one plain had already destroyed. The plain and it’s pilot became example to it’s people and an intimidation to it’s enemies.
