The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was a long-range single-seat fighter aircraft designed, built, and airborne in just 117 days. It served as a fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft before being converted to a bomber escort during raids over Germany, ensuring Allied air superiority from early 1944. The P-51 was used by Allied air forces in Europe and saw limited service against the Japanese in the Pacific War. It began the Korean War as the main fighter but was relegated to a ground attack role when jet fighters superseded it. Despite this, it remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s.
