The P51 Mustang was the most successful World War II US fighter in the European Theater. The American Mustangs destroyed 4,950 enemy aircraft in Europe making it the highest scoring US fighter in the theater. The popular and powerful P51D was the most versatile, most feared, and produced in the greatest quantities, over 7,900 in WWII.
Designed to meet an RAF requirement for fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft, the P-51 Mustang was first flown on October 26th, 1940. This versatile aircraft was capable of escorting bombers on long-range missions, engaging in dogfights, and dropping down to destroy German targets on the ground. At least eight versions of the P-51 were produced, but it was the definitive P-51D that gave the Mustang its classic warbird appearance. Britain and the US both tested the airframe with the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, which gave the aircraft tremendous performance gains. The Truman Senate War Investigating Committee called the Mustang "the most aerodynamically perfect pursuit plane in existence." © Copyright 2003-2009 The Flying Mule, Inc.
