Used primarily as a long-range bomber escort in raids over Germany, the North American P-51 Mustang earned a reputation for toughness and agility in dogfights. Carrying a two-stage supercharged V-12 Merlin engine and armed with six .50 caliber machine guns, the P-51 helped the Allies gain air superiority in the skies over Europe. P-51s were flown by the famed Tuskegee Airmen, and remained in service during the Korean War. World airforces made extensive use of the Mustang, some into the 1980's. Originally published by North American Aviation and classified "Restricted", this manual was declassified long ago and is here reprinted in book form. This affordable facsimile has been reformatted, and color images appear as black and white. Care has been taken however to preserve the integrity of the text.

This review is from: P-51 Mustang Pilot's Flight Manual (Paperback)
Everything you wanted to know about flying the P-51 mustang....including what not to do. Power on spins in this aircraft are extremely dangerous.
A great book for anyone who wants to know more about America's greatest fighter aircraft of WWII When I saw escort fighters over Hanover, I became worried. When I saw escort fighters over Berlin, I knew the jig was up. Herman Goering That was said when he saw mustangs escorting B-17s over Berlin
