The P-51 Mustang is one of the most legendary planes in history. Designed by the US in World War 2, it holds the record for most kills in the war. I hope this replica lives up to the legend it left behind.

BACKSTORY
The P-51 Mustang was a solution to the need for an effective bomber escort. It used a common, reliable engine and had internal space for a large fuel load. With external fuel tanks, it could accompany the bombers from England to Germany and back.

However, the Allison engine in the P-51A had a single-stage supercharger that caused power to drop off rapidly above 15,000 ft. This made it unsuitable for combat at the altitudes where USAAF bombers planned to fly. Following the RAF's initial disappointing experience with the Mustang I (P-51A) Ronald Harker, a test pilot for Rolls-Royce suggested fitting a Merlin 61, as fitted to the Spitfire Mk IX. The Merlin 61 had a two-speed two-stage intercooled supercharger, designed by Stanley Hooker of Rolls-Royce and this gave an increase in horsepower from the Allison's 1,200 hp (895 kW) to 1,620 hp (1,208 kW) (1,720 hp in War Emergency Power) delivering an increase of top speed from 390 mph (628 kph) to 440 mph (708 kph) as well as raising the service ceiling to almost 42,000 ft (12,800 metres).
