What do you mean "is now"? TRU had been carrying that line for many years but stopped a couple of years ago (or at least they stopped showing up on the shelves at my local TRU). I thought it was more PC BS.

TRU stopped carrying 21st Century, but now it is back.. That's what I mean..

Do you know why they stopped?

I'd heard two reasons:

1. The company (21st C.) was in financial trouble.

2. A repeat of the GI Joe syndrome during the Vietnam era.

The reason TRU stopped carrying 21st stuff is that some "PC" people complained about TRU carrying NAZI war toys, so TRU pulled them off the shelf, and dropped the line which breached 21st's contract with TRU to carry its full product line.. 21st went into financial difficulty during this period with court costs and loss of revenue from TRU dropping its product (which, at the time TRU was the ONLY retailer carrying 21st stuff other than a few online retailers)..

What squadron is that P-51B/C from? Or who flew it, for that matter?

According to 21st's website, this is a Tex Hill mount..

S3 “Bullfrog I” of the 75th FS. 23 FG, based in China in 1944. This aircraft was flown by the famous AVG pilot “Tex” Hill.
