The P-51 Mustang was possibly the finest single-seat fighter of the Second World War. Designed and built in record time by North American to British specifications, and for British use, it was fast and highly manoeuvrable at low altitude, well suited for tactical reconnaissance and ground attack.
This book is a detailed account of the design, production, development and operation of the Mustang, from the first day's design work through to those Mustangs still flying. The Mustang was most famously employed as long-range escort to the heavy bombers of the 8th Air Force, but its many roles stretched across all theatres of war, as recorded in this book. Extensive appendices include details of production, specification, deliveries, orders of battle, Mustang units, aces, trial reports and an index of surviving aircraft. 170 photographs recall the neat, functional, powerful look of the P-51 Mustang.
