NORTH AMERICAN P-51 MUSTANG

$9.95

Titles: North American P-51 Mustang No’s 1 to 8

Designed originally to a British requirement, the P-51 was notable for being flown less than a year after design work began. Initially powered by the Allison V-1710 engine, the type came into its own when the Packard-built Rolls-Royce Merlin engine was installed from the B model onwards. This improved the high-altitude performance and allowed the aircraft to carry out the long range bomber escort mission.

Over 15,000 examples of all models were produced and the aircraft saw service with many different air arms.  Its performance and versatility were such that the type was the main fighter aircraft for the western nations at the start of the Korean war and was only superseded when jet fighters such as the F-86 entered service. Many remained in service well into the 50’s with some smaller air arms retaining them until the late 1970’s. It remains a popular performer as a warbird and on the airshow circuit.

We offer eight titles on this magnificent aircraft, containing flight manuals for most variants of the Mustang, including manuals from foreign air arms and some nice manufacturer produced manuals. There also some maintenance manuals and parts manuals, and two aircraft profiles. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages, unless otherwise stated. Each title is US$9.95.
