FLYING THE NORTH AMERICAN P-51 MUSTANG

摘要

The North American aviation p-51 mustang is my all-time favorite airplane. I have other favorites, too, but the P-51 got me though WW II so well that it is the obvious choice for nostalgic reasons alone. The Mustang is a beautiful airplane to took at, and it has such a great, distinctive sound. There are so many legendary stories about the Mustang that it must be every flyboy's favorite WW II fighter, and I think most objective researchers would agree that it was the best all-around WW II combat fighter. But why was the Mustang so great? In a nutshell, because of its advanced design and overall performance. It was superior in many ways, and if it wasn't the best in a particular area, it was, at least, very competitive.
