The legendary North American P51 Mustang fighter of WW2 started life in 1940.The first aircraft was designed and manufactured in under 4 months which was an amazing accomplishment for such an advanced aircraft.
First delivery of the Mustang was made in 1942 to British RAF squadrons. The machine lacked the performance required due to the Allison engine originally fitted. To overcome this the aircraft was experimentally re-engined with the excellent Roll-Royce Merlin engine which had proven itself in the Spitfire and Hurricane. The Merlin engine transformed the Mustang into the superb machine that would become the legend.
To say the Merlin Mustangs were successful would be an understatement. Over 15,500 Mustangs of all types were produced. American Mustangs destroyed 4,950 enemy aircraft in Europe to make them the highest scoring US fighter in the theatre.
