'''Official Description:''' ''The P-51 Mustang, a long range fighter aircraft built by North American Aviation, is considered to be one of the finest and best fighter aircraft of the Second World War. The plane was fast, powered by the excellent Packard V-1650 supercharged engine and had superior handling compared to most contemporary fighters. The bubble canopy provided excellent visual awareness and the plane was well-made and durable, capable of sustaining numerous hits. Mustang pilots loved this plane, saying the plane is a joy to fly. Armed with the standard six .50 calibre M2 Browning machine guns, it also has hard points for two bombs or six high-velocity rockets, making this plane an excellent choice for any commander in the Pacific.'' | '''Official Description:''' ''The P-51 Mustang, a long range fighter aircraft built by North American Aviation, is considered to be one of the finest and best fighter aircraft of the Second World War.
