The P-51 : Cadillac of the Skies.
In 1943, the large and slow Flying Fortresses, used in the US Air Force's daylight bombing raids, were being shot out of the sky at a rate of up to 60 per day. Only one fighter plane could save them - the single-seat P51 Mustang. The P51 enabled American pilots to fly eight-hour missions - by the end of the war, it accounted for half of all German planes destroyed, either in the air or on the ground. American and German veterans recount the legend that was the Mustang. (R)

I really enjoied it.
This was uploaded 2010? Never seen it before.
That's why I love this forum ... You always find something new for you.
The P 51 is a absolutly great plane
British RollsRoyce machine, German design, American productivity ...
Thanks a lot Wotsnext !
Actually it's an American design built to British Specifications.
That was a great watch. Love the details on how the drop tanks were constructed and the number oa aaa losses compared to air to air. It's got me thinking about German experiences attacking the b-17s was it a challenge in their eyes?
You are sure you checked who designed the "Mustang" ?

Any damned fool can criticize, but it takes a genius to design it in the first place.
Edgar Schmued, Chief Designer North American Aviation, [6]
The plane was B grade until the merlin was thrown into it.
