North American P-51D Mustang at the Evergreen Aviation Museum

1944 North American P-51D Mustang at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in 2001

The Mustang was introduced in 1940, and would become the predominant fighter by the end of the war, only to quickly be rendered obsolete in the postwar years by jet fighters. Its ability to fly at high altitudes and long range made it well suited as a bomber escort, protecting Allied bombers on their way to strike German targets. This Mustang is in flying condition.
