Korean winters are notorious for their harsh conditions. This weapons ordnance technician is wrapped up against the bitter cold as he installs a .50 cal. ammunition belt into a gun feed in the right-hand wing of this 18FBG Mustang in 1951. Two outboard five-inch HVARs have been attached to either wing leaving one inboard attachment point open for a drop tank or bomb to be installed. (National Museum of the USAF)

Several 18FBG Mustangs are being armed with 5-in.-diameter high velocity aerial rockets or HVARs which were nicknamed ‘Holy Moses’. An F-51D-30-NA (44-74488) is closest to the camera with another F-51D-30-NA (44-74597) close by. (US Air Force)
