Theoretically, the Indonesian Air Force of 1962 was lavishly equipped with Soviet-made MiG-17s, MiG-19s and MiG-21 interceptors, Il-28 light- and Tu-16 medium bombers, and a miscellany of other aircraft and helicopters of similar origin. However, the force was already heavily involved in the confrontation with the Netherlands over West New Guina/Papua, and short on qualified pilots. When mobilised to support the rebellion in Borneo, some of its fliers had to switch from MiGs to older, though proven as reliable, North American P-51D Mustangs. Most of these wore camouflage in olive drab on top surfaces and sides, and a large shark-mouth insignia on the nose surrounded by dark blue, and the crest of 3 Skvadron under the right side of the cockpit. The undersides were left in bare metal overall. In addition to the six wing-mounted 12.7mm Browning machine guns, they could also be armed with four rails each for two unguided 88mm rockets.
