21ST CENTURY TOYS
The North American P-51 was an American long-range single-seat fighter aircraft that entered service with Allied air forces in the middle years of WWII and became on of the conflict's most successful and recognizable aircraft. The P-51 flew most of its wartime missions as a bomber escort in raids over Germany, and helped ensure Allied air superiority after 1944. It also saw service against Japanese air forces in the Pacific War. The Mustang began the Korean War as the United Nations' mainfighter, but was supplanted by jets by the conflict's end. Nevertheless, it remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980's.
