Samolot P-51 Mustang byt znakomitym mysliweem, ale sprawdzit siQ tez jako uniwersalna
maszyna rozpoznania fotografieznego. Jego osigi: pr^dkosc, puiap, uzbrojenie oraz wielki
zasi^g sprawialy, ze mogl sprawnie doleciec do odleglego celu, sfotografowac go i bezpiecznie
powrocic do bazy. Aby stad si powietrznym szpiegiem dalekiego zasigu. Mustang, w przeci-
wiehstwie np. do Spitfire, wymagat jedynie instalacji sprzqtu fotografieznego.
Koncepcja samolotu myliwskiego Mustang powstala w wyniku wspolpracy Brytyjczykdw
z przemyslem amerykaskim. Zaklady North American Aviation, ktorym zaproponowano
licencyjn produkcjQ mysliweow Curtissa, wolaly zaoferowac wasn konstrukejq. Pierwsze
wersje Mustanga, napdzane silnikiem Allison, sprawdzaly siq na malym i srednim pulapie,
byty zwrotne, solidne i dobrze dostosowane do produkeji masowej. Przelomem bylo zainstalo-
wanie produkowanych w USA na licencji Rolls-Royce silnikdw Packard Merlin, ktore zapewnity
znakomite osigi takze na duzych wysokociach. Powstala w ten sposob wersja P-51 B/C
Mustang byla zdolna do lotu z Anglii nad Berlin i rozwiqzywala problem eskorty dziennych nalo-
tow bombowych na Niemcy. Produkcjq nowej wersji prowadzono w zakladach North American
w Kalifornii pod oznaczeniem P-51 B-NA i w Teksasie jako P-51C-NT. t^eznie wyprodukowano
3738 tych samolotbw. Az 900 z nich, jako Mustangi Mk III, przekazano do RAF oraz do Polskich
Sil Powietrznych, RAAF, RCAF i Wolnych Francuzbw. W Europie pojawily si^ one pod koniec
1943 roku, sluzyly takze w rejonie Morza Srodziemnego oraz na birmahsko-chihskim teatrze
dzialah. Od polowy 1944 roku byly stopniowo zastpowane przez unowoczesnione P-51D/K.
Rozpoznawczy Mustang F-6C byt modyfikacj mysliwea P-51 B/C. Wikszo F-6C powstala
w zakladach North American w Dallas i roznila siq od produkowanych tam mySliwcow glownie
otworami sluzqcymi do instalacji aparatu fotografieznego. Oprzyrzdowanie foto instalowano
w warsztatach w Love Field i w Kansas City. Tak powstalo 230 seryjnych F-6C. Dodatkowo
ponad 50 myliwcw P-51 B/C przebudowano na rozpoznawcze w warsztatach remontowych
i jednostkach bojowych. Rozpoznawcze Mustangi sprawdzaly si? zarwno w misjach foto-
grafowania z duzej wysokosci aparatem do zdj pionowych, jak i taktyeznego rozpoznania
z malej wysokosci przy uzyciu aparatu do zdj skonych. Ich uzbrojenie pozwalalo takze na
podejmowanie rbwnej walki z samolotami wroga. Uzywane byly przez Lotnictwo Armii USA
i aliant6w na teatrach: europejskim, srodziemnomorskim oraz dalekowschodnim.
The P-51 Mustang was an excellent fighter, but it also proved to be a universal photo-reconna-
issance plane. Its performance: speed, ceiling, armament, and great range meant that it could
efficiently reach a distant target, photograph it and safely return to the base. To become a long-
-range aerial spy, the Mustang, unlike, for example, the Spitfire, required only the installation of
photographic equipment.
The concept of the Mustang fighter appeared as a result of collaboration between the RAF and the
American industry. North American Aviation factory, which had been offered to license-produce
Curtiss fighters, preferred to propose their own design. The first versions of the Mustang, powered
by an Allison engine, were effective on the low-to-medium altitudes, agile, solid, and well suited for
mass production. The breakthrough was the installation of Packard Merlin engines, manufactured
in the USA under the Rolls-Royce license, which ensured excellent performance also at higher
altitudes. The resulting version - P-51 B/C Mustang - was capable to fly from England to Berlin
and solved the problem of escorting the daytime bombing raids on Germany. Production of the
new version was carried out at the North American factories in California under the designation
P-51 B-NA and in Texas as P-51C-NT. A total of 3,738 of these aircraft were produced. As many
as 900 of them, as Mustangs Mk III, were transferred to the RAF and to the Polish Air Force,
RAAF, RCAF, and Free French. They appeared in Europe at the end of 1943, they also served in the
Mediterranean and the Burmese-Chinese theatre of operations. From mid-1944, they were gradu-
ally replaced by the more advanced P-51D/K.
The reconnaissance Mustang F-6C was a modification of the P-51 B/C fighter. Most of the F-6Cs
were built at the North American factories in Dallas and differed from the fighters produced there
mainly in the openings for installing a camera. Photo equipment was installed at modification centers
in Love Field and Kansas City. 230 serial F-6Cs were produced this way. In addition, more than 50
P-51 B/C fighters were converted into reconnaissance planes in overseas depots and combat units.
The reconnaissance Mustangs performed well both for high-altitude missions with a vertical camera
and for low-level tactical reconnaissance using an oblique camera. Their armament also allowed
them to engage in equal combat with enemy planes. They were used by the US Army and Allied Air
Force in European, Mediterranean, and Far East theatres of operations.
