Meet North American P-51 Mustang
North American designed the Mustang in response to a British requirement in 1940. Early aircraft used Allison engines, while later Merlin-powered developments became closely associated with long-range escort work. The P-51D's bubble canopy is one of the best-known configurations.
The design continued into post-war service and later civilian display and racing. A racing Mustang can be extensively modified, so warbird and racer appearances do not necessarily imply identical equipment or behaviour. The simulator entries preserve the relevant model and package names.
