The canopies on the two aircraft in the foreground look different then
the normal P51-D canopy. They almost look like they are from the
Fw-190 production line. I suppose that would make sense if the
original pilot had to bail out and the canopy was destroyed.


Bail out would mean a crash, doubt the plane would be flyable. My
guess is that the planes crash landed with shot up canopies, or maybe
they flipped over on crash landing.


Yes, it is all speculation. It would be interesting to read a
definitive answer.
