The P-51B Mustang was one of the most important American escort fighters, operating in the European theater of war. It was developed by North American Aviation and entered service in 1943. The Mustang was particularly famous for its participation in long-range escort missions, protecting Allied bombers during raids over Nazi Germany. Its advanced design, outstanding performance and wide range of armaments contributed to achieving air superiority over Western Europe. The P-51B was also used by many distinguished Allied fighter aces – the “US Aces over Europe” set allows you to recreate aircraft flown by pilots such as Major James Howard and Captain John C.
