The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was a long-range single-seat World War II fighter aircraft designed, built, and airborne within just 117 days. The Mustang first served with the RAF as a fighter-bomber and reconnaissance plane before being converted to a bomber escort for raids over Germany. It played a crucial role in ensuring Allied air superiority from early 1944, serving with Allied forces in Europe and seeing limited action against Japan in the Pacific War. The Mustang began the Korean War as the primary fighter of the United Nations but was later relegated to ground attack roles due to the introduction of jet fighters. Despite this, it remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s.
