• The P-51 Mustang Is Considered By Many To Be The Best Fighter Aircraft Of Wwii. The P-51 Mustang Came About When The British Purchasing Commission Asked North American Aviation To Produce The Curtiss P-40 For The Raf, But North American Stated They Could Build Something Better. The P-51D Is Considered By Many Experts To Be The Definitive Variant Of The Mustang As It Was The Most Widely Produced. It Featured A Bubble Canopy Which Gave The Pilot Superb All-Round Visibility As Well As A Heavier Armament Of Six 12.7Mm Machine Guns. Wing Racks Allowed The Carriage Of Drop Tanks To Extend Range Or Bombs For Ground Attack. P-51Ds Were Instrumental In Helping The Allies Gain Air Superiority Over Europe, And After Germany’S Defeat, They Continued Their Role As Long-Range Escorts For B-29S Attacking Japan. Many Also Saw Service During The Korean War As Fighter-Bombers And A Few Even Continued To Serve With Air Forces Of Less Developed Nations Until The 1980S.
