Historical Notes on the P-51 Mustang and P-82 Twin Mustang

The P-51 Mustang is probably the most famous of all of the Warbirds.  This airplane was manufactured by North American Aviation during World War 2.  The plane took only 90 days to design and became the worlds fastest propeller airplane, ever, setting all of the low altitude speed records for piston engine propeller driven airplanes even today.  There are many of these airplanes still flying today at air shows everywhere.  This plane is also a favorite at the Reno Air Races at Stead Field just north of Reno Nevada.  Many Warbirds race at Reno every September.  The P51 is 32' 3" long, 13' 8" high, and a wingspan of 37'.  The Mustang weighs 7,000 lbs empty and has a max weight of 12,100 lbs.  It used two different types of engines, the Allison and the Rolls Royce Merlin which produced 1,650 hp.  The racing planes, by contrast, pump out over 4,500 hp.  The P-51 Mustang had a max speed of 437 mph and a cruise speed of 275 mph.  The P-82 was a twin fuselage version of the P-51, with two engines. The P-82 is also designated the F-82.  These model planes include die cast models, plastic model kits, and mahogany model planes.
There are many versions of this plane, these specs cover only one version.

The P-51 Mustang is the elite fighter of World War 2.  The Mustang cleared the skies of Luftwaffe fighters.  There were no other aircraft that could fly as high, go as far and fight as hard as the P-51.  It accounted for more kills than any WW2 fighter.  This aircraft had a range with external tanks of over 1700 miles and was used for many missions escorting the great B-17's, B-24's and B-29's. The prototype P-51 Mustang was designed, built and flown in only 117 days.  There were 15,686 Mustangs built.   The P51 was flown by 11 Allied countries and created 281 Aces.  The Aircraft flew 472 mph and set the worlds low altitude speed record of 499 mph at the Salt Flats.
