P-51 MUSTANG In Action
(Softcover)
SS10211

By David Doyle.
Its contrails twisting through the clouds, one fighter aircraft
was able to escort America’s heavy bombers from England to
Berlin, and from Iwo Jima to Tokyo – the North American P-51
Mustang. Beyond bomber escort, this iconic Pursuit (later F- for
fighter) aircraft was employed against ground targets using
machine guns, rockets, and bombs – in fact one variant was
specifically produced as a dive bomber, an Allied counterpart to
Germany’s famed Stuka. Including derivatives, the Mustang
soldiered on in the arsenal of America and her allies into the
1980s, and was responsible for downing over 5,000 enemy aircraft.

This new 80-page edition of a classic book about an iconic
aircraft includes over 170 photos, one-third of which are in rare

vintage color. Detailed line drawings and color profiles augment
the archival images to present this new look at the Mustang,
from the early experimental NA-73X to the PA-48, the final
military variant. 80 pages.
