Manufactured by North American Aviation, the P-51 Mustang was an American long-range single-seat combat aircraft. It became one of the most famous and successful aircrafts during World War II. The P51 Mustang gave the bombers of US 8th Air Force the fighter cover it so desperately needed over occupied Europe and, therefore, greatly assisted the bombing campaign against Nazi Germany in World War Two. The aircraft entered service with the Allied air forces during the middle years of the warfare. Its maiden flight was on October 26, 1940.

The P-51 Mustang was flown by the Tuskegee Airmen, one of the greatest U.S. Fighter groups that have utilized the P-51 as their main weapon throughout World War II. The Tuskegee Airmen were black fighter pilots formed in the year 1941, and flew escort missions with American Bombers during the Italian campaign. The Tuskegee Airmen was famous for not losing a bomber while escorting over 200 bombing missions.

The P-51's mission involved bomber escorting in raids over Germany. It helped ensure Allied air supremacy from 1944 onwards. It also became a weapon against Japanese during the Pacific War. The P-51 Mustang remained in service with few air forces until early 1980s. It was the main fighter plane of the United Nations during the Korean War, and was later converted for civilian use after the war ended.
