North American P-51D Mustang

This isn't just another typical Mustang book!

This is a detailed monograph that covers the design and development of the P-51D family of aircraft, the basic version of this fighter used during World War II. The P-51D, equipped with a teardrop canopy and heavier armament, was the aircraft of many fighter aces. After World War II, the Mustang not only saw combat in Korea but also served with numerous air forces around the world. The book includes: Comprehensive technical details of the US-built P-51D and P-51K Mustangs and the Australian-built CAC Mustangs. Original NAA technical photos. Historical photos. Color profiles of the aircraft in the colors of 29 countries. Detail photos of recently restored aircraft, including those taken during restoration. Plans in three popular scales (1/72, 1/48, and 1/32).

The photos show all the details of the construction, supplemented by drawings from the aircraft's official manuals.
