Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

This is the fourth volume in a new series of books from Histoire & Collections: Planes & Pilots. The books will be devoted in detail to the most prestigious warbirds from the Second World War, featuring over 200 colour illustrations, including aircraft profiles, camouflage and markings, maps and diagrams, plus a lot of previously unpublished archive photographs. During World War Two the Mustang was to the Americans what the Spitfire was to the British - a symbol of hope and strength. The P-51 fought in almost every theatre of war, in various roles and with great success. When powered by the famed Merlin engine, the P-51 became the supreme long-range escort fighter, and went on to serve with distinction in Korea and with some air arms into the 1970s! * Full colour computer graphics specially created by Andre Jouineau, a top aviation illustrator who works for Air France. * Full of specially created full colour artwork and unpublished black and white archive photos.
