It served well its pilots of many nationalities even many years ater it had been conceived. Its total production figure amounted to nearly 16,000 aircraft. The four basic models - B/C/D/K ~ presented in this publication, accounted for 4,950 out of 10,720 air victories the USAAF was credited with, and 4,131 out of 8,160 ground victories. Many vintage P-515 are still airworthy today, and every major aviation museurn has ambitions to own one. Ordered by the British following a contract signed on 23rd May 1940, Mustang came to life after barely 102 days, when still engineless airframe was put up on the wheels (borrowed from the Harvard). The aircraft was first flown on 26th October. A year later it was coupled toa new powerplant, Rols-Royce/Packard Merlin, which replaced the older Allison V-1710. The re-engined ‘Mustang, produced as P-51B at Inglewood plant, and as P-51C at Dallas, surpassed all expectations. P-51D ~ the upgunned, improved ‘bubbletop’ model - and P-51K, its ‘Texan variant, only further confirmed that Mustang was the ultimate in piston-engined fighters.
