Like the earlier P-51B/C, the P-51D Mustang was produced in two North American Aviation factories: Inglewood, California, and Dallas, Texas. Aircraft built in Inglewood were marked NA, while those from Dallas carried the NT code. Although both lines produced almost identical airframes, Dallas-built Mustangs featured several small yet distinctive differences.
One of the major challenges of large-scale production was the shortage of Hamilton Standard propellers, which had been used on earlier Mustangs. To keep production moving, the Dallas plant introduced the P-51K-1-NT with an Aeroproducts propeller after the P-51D-5-NT. Subsequent blocks ranged from K-1 to K-15. Once the supply of Hamilton Standard propellers was restored, production returned to the D designation, starting with the P-51D-20-NT.
