FOR AIRCRAFT DEVELOPERS
Research aircraft and systems
Find aircraft background, systems descriptions and manuals for the aircraft you are researching. Each note keeps its source and version context close by.
Simulator manuals describe the developer’s implementation. Aircraft background is research-based; pilot accounts describe an individual’s experience. Coverage here is limited to the selected notes and linked resources, not the full contents of every manual.

North American P-51 Mustang
North American designed the Mustang for a British requirement in 1940. Early aircraft used Allison engines; Merlin-powered developments became associated with long-range escort missions. The P-51D introduced the familiar bubble-canopy configuration.
Postwar service was followed by civilian display and racing. Racing Mustangs can carry extensive modifications, with equipment and handling that differ from wartime or restored warbird configurations.
