Historical Significance:

The North American P-51D Mustang transformed the air war over Europe when it entered service in 1944. Powered by the legendary Packard-built Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, the Mustang combined exceptional range, speed, and maneuverability. The D-model's bubble canopy provided pilots with unmatched visibility, while six .50 caliber machine guns delivered devastating firepower. P-51Ds escorted heavy bombers deep into Germany, engaging and defeating Luftwaffe fighters to establish Allied air superiority. The Mustang's 1,650-mile range allowed it to accompany bombers all the way to Berlin and back, a capability no other Allied fighter possessed. Legendary aces like Chuck Yeager flew P-51Ds to victory, and the aircraft continued serving in air forces worldwide well into the jet age.
