The North American P-51 Mustang is considered one of the best, if not the best, fighter aircraft of the Second World War. It was an American single-engine long-range fighter and attack aircraft with a classic tail and all-metal construction. The prototype first flew on 26 October 1940, and the design quickly impressed with its combination of speed, manoeuvrability, range and armament.
The P-51D was an important version within the Mustang family. Based on the P-51B, it received a drip-style canopy for excellent visibility and the Packard V-1650-7 engine, which significantly improved performance. Thanks to its qualities, the Mustang could gain air superiority, escort missions, support reconnaissance and attack ground targets.
