A P-51 with a BACK SEAT???
Fifteen TF-51D's were built during WW2, IIRC by North American.
Temco converted 15 P-51s to dual-seat, and Bolivia operated dual-control
Mustangs after WW2.
There have apparently been a lot of two-seat variants, with a number of them
not receiving any real modification work to speak of. The US Army used to
operate a couple (including at least one Cavalier mod), with a jump seat
behind the pilot to handle a photographer during their use as photo chase
planes for airborne tests.
