The North American P-51 Mustang is an American single-engine long-range fighter and attack aircraft with a classic tail and all-metal construction. The flight of the prototype took place on October 26, 1940. The P-51 Mustang has earned the reputation of being one of the best fighters of World War II, if not the best. The single-seat fighter impressed with its maximum speed, range, maneuverability and powerful weapons, gained air superiority, escorted, carried out reconnaissance missions, attacked ground targets... Thanks to its optimal design, the Mustang remained in active service until the 70's.
