Brief History of the P51 Mustang.
The P-51 Mustang was perhaps the most famous fighter of World War II, and, many would say, the best
all-round piston-engined fighter produced by any of the combatants during that conflict. Total production
of all Mustangs amounted to 15,575 in the USA and 100 in Australia, ranking only behind the P-47 Thunderbolt
in being the fighter manufactured in greatest numbers for the USAAF. Mustangs accounted for 4950 of the 10,720
air combat victories claimed by the USAAF in Europe, and 4131 of the 8160 ground strafing claims made in the
same theatre, accounting for 48.9 percent of total losses inflicted on the enemy. They shot down more than
230 V-1 "buzz bombs", and they even managed to score some kills against Luftwaffe jet fighters.
