About the artwork
Two North American P-51D Mustangs.
The P-51 Mustang was conceived, designed and built by North American Aviation (NAA), led by chief designer Edgar Schmued at the request of the British. The prototype NA-73x airframe, without engine, was presented on 9 September 1940, 102 days after the contract was signed and flew for the first time on 26 October.
The Mustang was originally designed to carry the Allison V-1710 engine, which provided only limited high-altitude performance. It was first flown operationally by the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a tactical reconnaissance aircraft and fighter-bomber. The addition of the Rolls-Royce Merlin to the P-51B / C model transformed performance of the Mustang at altitudes above 15,000 feet (5,000 metres), so that the Mustang matched or surpassed Luftwaffe fighter aircraft. The final version, the P-51D, was powered by the Packard V-1650-7, a licence-built version of the Rolls-Royce Merlin 60. The aircraft consumed relatively little fuel compared to other aircraft and had a large fuel capacity. This made the aircraft an ideal escort fighter to protect Allied bombers during missions to Nazi Germany.
This photo was taken on 24 April 2016 during the airshow at Langley Air Force Base.
