From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North American P-51 Mustang was an American long-range single-seat fighter aircraft that entered service with Allied air forces in the middle years of World War II and became one of the conflict's most successful and recognizable aircraft. The definitive version of the single-seat fighter was powered by a single two-stage supercharged V-12-1650 Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and armed with six .50 caliber (12.7 mm) M2 machine guns. Mustangs remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s.
