P-51D Duchess Arlene Model Airplane

Ottumwa native Captain Robert Williams flew 50 combat missions and later wrote the original manuscript for the award-winning 1995 HBO film "The Tuskegee Airmen" with his character portrayed by actor Laurence Fishburne. Captain Williams' P-51D Mustang named "Duchess Arlene" wore the number 10 and features a paint scheme showing two enemy aircraft kills.

Re-created by the Franklin Mint, this 1:48 scale die cast model is hand painted for authentic detail.
