P51 Mustang

48 pp. "Robert Grinsell tells the fascinating story of this aircraft from its initial development, through all its modifications, to its appearance in the skies over Europe and the South Pacific. Grinsell gives the reader complete flight performance specifications, and quotes veteran pilots who tell what it was like to fly the legendary P 51. The technical innovations of each new model are covered in detail, including the highly unusual P 82 twin-engine, twin-piloted Mustang. The illustrations by Rikyu Watanabe show the Mustang from all perspectives, including cockpit and controls, and cross-sectional and cut-away views of the planes interior design."--jacket
