Describes the design and production of the P-51D, and draws on first-hand accounts to chart its combat history in Europe, and to tell the stories of the aces who flew the fighter. This book also includes new colour illustrations and cutaways, as well as contemporary photographs.
Unquestionably the best American fighter of World War 2, the North American P-51 Mustang served in large numbers with the USAAF''s Eighth Air Force from late 1943 until VE Day, and was the mount of most aces in-theatre. Charged with the responsibility of escorting huge formations of B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator bombers on daylight raids deep into Germany, the P-51 pilots of the various fighter groups within the ''Mighty Eighth'' went head to head with the cream of the Luftwaffe''s fighter squadrons for control of the skies over the Third Reich.
