The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was an American long-range single-seat fighter aircraft that entered service with Allied air forces in the middle years of World War II. The P-51 became one of the conflict's most successful and recognizable aircraft.
The P-51 flew most of its wartime missions as a bomber escort in raids over Germany, helping ensure Allied air superiority from early 1944. It also saw service against the Japanese in the Pacific War. The Mustang began the Korean War as the United Nations' main fighter but was supplanted as a fighter by jets early in the conflict, being relegated to a ground attack role. Nevertheless, it remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s.

Classic, I love the mustang!! Great add Ezanee.
Thanks! Its design has made it a real mainstay in the force. It even flew in Vietnam alongside the early jets.
I love it too.
Oh, GBman! Forgot to add, the Mustang's wing is elliptical in shape, making it highly aerodynamic. This shape is very difficult to manufacture, though, so not many planes today have such a shape.
But during times of war, no expenses were spared for performance.
I did not know that! There a few other planes (mainly fighters) that are pretty awesome too, I think I shall add them in the coming days. I don't know if I am enamored with the planes as much as the brave pilots who fly them. They are a special group of men.
That they are. I think it's likely that whatever plane you do add, I'll vote for them.
I have no doubts my friend.
Okay, I put a few out there…
