Description
The P-51 Mustang was an American long-range fighter-bomber used during World War II, the Korean War and other conflicts. At the start of the Korean War the Mustang was the main fighter until jet fighters like the F-86 took over. The Mustang then became a specialized fighter bomber. Even with the advance of jet fighters, the Mustang remained in service until the early 1980's. After World War II and the Korean War, many Mustangs were converted for civilian use and were a favorite for air-racing. They are a favorite as restored historical pieces at airshows across the nation.
