North American P-51 Mustang
Combat Legend
Darling, Kev
The Mustang was the greatest godsend to the massive daylight bomber fleets that pounded Hitler's Reich during World War II. It was the first aircraft to have the range and ability to intercept and destroy German fighters that had previously decimated Allied attacks and caused the loss of many US aircrew.
Designed and built in the USA to a British specification, the early models were under-powered and it was not until the famous Merlin engine was installed that its full potential was realised. The type played a vital part in all wartime theatres and went on to serve with many air forces in post-war years.
