Introduction
The P-51 Mustang is arguably the greatest fighter of all time. With its long range, superior speed, lethal weaponry and outstanding maneuverability the Mustang proved to be unequalled as an escort fighter. It was also an outstanding interceptor and ground attacker as well as reconnaisance aircraft. The fact that the Mustang remained in service with various air forces around the world into the 1970s is a testament to its abilities.
