Outline

The P-51 Mustang’s emergence as the dominant aerial weapon of World War II is detailed

The P-51 Mustang rose from obscurity to become the greatest long-range fighter in aviation history.

Able to out-fly even the best of the Axis aircraft, the Mustang decimated its enemies and drove them from the skies over Europe and Japan.

But in its infancy, the Mustang flashed none of its war-winning potential.

We trace the P-51’s development from its origin through its re-emergence as the dominant aerial weapon of WWII.
