The Mustang was initially developed by the RAF, and the name "Mustang" was given to the plane by an anonymous member of the British Purchasing Commission, the board that awarded military contracts. The P-51 designation was given by the U.S. Army Air Force; they originally wanted to call the plane the Apache, but it was soon dropped and the AAF kept the original RAF name.
