Its performance: speed, ceiling, armament, and great range meant that it could efficiently reach a distant target, photograph it and safely return to the base. To become a long- range aerial spy, the Mustang, unlike, for example, the Spitfire, required only the installation of photographic equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reconnaissance Mustang F-6C was a modification of the P-51B\/C fighter. Most of the F-6Cs were built at the North American factories in Dallas and differed from the fighters produced there mainly in the openings for installing a camera. Photo equipment was installed at modification centers in Love Field and Kansas City. 230 serial F-6Cs were produced this way. In addition, more than 50 P-51B\/C fighters were converted into reconnaissance planes in overseas depots and combat units. The reconnaissance Mustangs performed well both for high-altitude missions with a vertical camera and\u003cbr\u003efor low-level tactical reconnaissance using an oblique camera. Their armament also allowed them to ​ engage in equal combat with enemy planes. They were used by the US Army and Allied Air Force in European, Mediterranean, and Far East theatres of operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced under license from Boeing.
