Information about the template

The North American P-51 Mustang was a single-seat long-range fighter aircraft that served on the side of the Allies during World War II. It was one of the most successful types of fighter aircraft, often providing escort to bombers during raids on Germany and helping the Allies gain air superiority. It was also deployed in the Pacific against Japan.

During World War II, Mustang pilots shot down 4,950 enemy aircraft. The aircraft started the Korean War as the main fighter and attack aircraft but was replaced by more modern jet types during the conflict. In some air forces, the Mustang served into the early 1980s. A number of aircraft that were sold after the war (often for prices not exceeding 1,500 USD) are still flying today.
