About the North American F-51D Mustang:

The North American P-51 Mustang is regarded by many as one of the most iconic American fighters of the Second World War. Designed to fulfill an RAF specification, the Mustang was transformed once the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine was installed. The P-51D model's long range and excellent firepower made it a superb escort fighter, able to protect the bombers all the way to Berlin and back. The P-51 is recorded as being the top-scoring Allied fighter of the war, with 4,950 enemy aircraft destroyed. In 1948, the type designation for the Mustang changed to F-51D, and it continued in USAF and RAAF service as a ground attack aircraft through the Korean War. The Mustang's combination of speed, range, and maneuverability made it one of the most successful fighter designs in aviation history.
