@w9awx1 That's a hard one to answer. The Mustang could out maneuver the Spitfire turn for turn, but in overall speed and fire power, the Spitfire has the Mustang beat.
@CRQ5508 Actually the Mustang was faster with a top speed of 437mph vs the Spitfire's 378mph top speed. Firepower could be debated till everyone is blue in the face as to which is better, the Mustangs six 50cal's or the Spitfire's four 20mm's. In the end I think it would honestly come down to the pilots at the stick instead of the aircraft themselves.
@CRQ5508 Actually its the other way around. The Spitfire Mk IX could out turn the P51D but the Mustang had a higher top speed of 437mph to the Mk IX's 378mph, and firepower is debatable.
@w9awx1 If it went into a turning fight, Spitfire, if it was high speed passes, such as diving at high speed, then climbing away, Mustang. throught WWII Mustang pilots wouldn't dogfight with Leuftwaffe fighters, but they would Zoom and climb out of range of the German fighters.
@GreatWhite85 That's known as EPA, too much regulation and the government having it's fingers in everything. We would have even better aircraft if not for the same reason.
14 years after the Little Big Horn, the 7th Cavalry was entrapped in a box canyon, and if it wasn't for the 9th Cavalry, there would have been a second massacre of the 7th Cav.
The Buffalo Soldiers, 9th Cavalry was rewarded with Presidential Parade Escort and Guard Duties for accomplishments, furthermore; the 9th Cav. received as many citations as most of the white cavs.

Why would some "dislike' this...?? srsly what a bunch of tards, grow up, this was fantastic.... Spitfire fan here but this is a very VERY close runner up!
@artherjob Actually the engine in the P-51 Mustang was the American made Packard V-1650. This engine was an updated and improved version of the Merlin Rolls Royce.;)
yes.................a version of the Rolls Royce Merlin engine. Am I missing something? American made "under license"................if you want to get detailed..
@lander4545 please tell me how it was "updated and improved" merlins were made under license from rolls royce by packard. The packard merlin had a better build quality purely because they didn't have the same strains as rolls royce from lack of materials and being bombed by the luftwaffe. But not forgotten is the orgins of the merlin which the basic engine was based on the curtis D-12 engine which rollys royce used as a starting point of the rolls royce kestrel which from that became the merlin

@twinstu50 what the hell are you on about?? if you are asking about my resources 99.9% of all my info on what i post on youtube is from books, i have about 30yrs worth of books i trust, i am well aware of the so called experts that treat wikipedia as "gospel".
@pramboy09 One of the many modifications by Packard was to change the main bearings from a copper alloy to a silver lead combination that featured indium plating to prevent corrosion which was possible with lubricating oils of the time.The "updated and improved" bearings improved break in and load carrying ability of the surface.The stalling carburetor was changed in favor of one made by from Bendix corp. Packard incorporated into the Merlin the Wright Supercharger drive quill for high altitude
@lander4545 so how was the Wright Supercharger drive quill different to what the 2 stage supercharger designed by rolls royce had? the improvements you talk about are materials and that i can understand considering the massive resorces the u.s had as well of course not being bombed helped also!

The Japanese Zero with a Merlin V12 turbocharged engine would have destroyed the stang... good thing they flew all their people into the ocean instead of build a better engine!!
@freercsimulators Well the Zero was super light weight (no sealed gas tanks, one shot and you are broken construction), so, yes, the Zero would probably go fast with the same engine as the Mustang, but, in battle, the even slower US Navy planes out fought the Zero. As I'm sure you know, speed is not everything. Tactics and technology.
@Luminaring We wouldn't even get a shot at the tanks with the manouverability of the Zero (with a more powerful engine), the P51 had a special trick trained by aeronotical geniuses, that was to climb at a specific angle then pull behind and blow the tanks, it worked almost every time and helped win the war. They were brainwashed to die in the plane anyway so they didn't care about protecting the gas tanks. Spycho's in plane's are dangerous! But trained spycho's will win the battle!
@CardShark989 They allowed the US to win the air war with an insuperior dogfighting plane, allowed it to climb faster and higher than the BF and the Zero so it was pretty worthfull if you like the United States. If you have ever driven in a car with a turbo you would notice a large increase in power at high temperature and altitude which will win more races! Otherwise you're probably right they were worthless, it beats water injection.
yeah, Ive had a ride in Petey's 2nd, owned by a friend of fathers... There are so many G's in this thing I was really surprised! Its almost like youd expect a jet fighter to feel.
I worked for a guy as a teenager mucking out his horse stalls who had a two seater mustang, I had the priveledge to take a flight in it. What amazed me was how fast those p-51's where. You think a prop plane wouldn't be very fast like a jet but believe me, they are scary fast.
@OlderG0ds It was sarcasm....... ¬_¬ half the people giving their "advice and knowledge" dont know what the fuck there talking about. Oh and to correct you, the P51 Mustang WAS NOT a "Fighter Jet" . (:
@simonsrd100 wrong mate the poms approached NAA for the p-40 and "dutchy"kindleberger and his engineer /designer edgar schmued said to them they could build a better plane"dutchy"{german parents}--edgar {german}who workd for both FW and willy messerschmitt b4 the war, designd this bird ....buy his book on e-bay and you will be supprised at the myths that are wiped out with info contained...must read...google edgar schmued
The P51, Apart from being a British comissioned design and also failing at the first hurdle, with the crap US Allison engine, the height of piston engined design was in FACT !! an English design.
Check out the English Hawker Sea Fury. The only piston engined fighter to shoot down jet powered Mig 15's in Korea.
It is said to have broken the sound barrier in a dive, WAY WAY before your jet planes did.
@CharleyFarley1040 Sorry Charlie, but you're wrong......A Vought F4U Corsair flown by Captain Jesse G. Folmar and a P-51 piloted by Major John Yingling, both shot down Mig 15's. Google is your friend, another great American invention.
@ggarlick46 What am I missing here, man?........ "Check out the English Hawker Sea Fury. The (only) piston engined fighter to shoot down jet powered Mig 15's in Korea." He stated it was the "only" piston engine fighter to have accomplished this feat. Maybe I'm just splitting hairs now.
Interesting, but Lee Atwater, designer of the P51, said the laminar flow wing design only made a little bit of difference and that was just at very high speed. He said the secret was in the way the cooling system scooped the air then compressed and ejected it to gain thrust. Very strange stuff, called the Meredith Effect.
First of all, jokes abt dislikes are fucking lame and fucking old. Second, Bf109 had more kills than all the Allied planes put together. Im nt really a fan of the Bf109 and im certainly no Nazi sympathizer. But come on. Plus, German pilots scored the highest kills in WW2.
@Irfan87 Do you know why German pilots scored more kills?
1) Because they were fighting in Poland and Russia with 100% air superiority, fighting biplanes..
2) Because they flew hundreds of missions, while Allied pilots were sent home after 25 combat sorties. A German pilot could sustain major injuries, spend a week in a field hospital and be put back in the air.
3) If a German pilot was shot down, they were shot down over friendly territory. Especially toward the end of the war.
First of all i wasn't trolling and secondly, points number 2 and 3 dont really count bro. Id go into detail, but this is guaranteed to turn into a massive retarded YouTube fight i cant be bothered with. My point ultimately is, show some respect man. Bf109 pilots had as much skill and guts as any of the pilots in WW2. Fuck that, all fighter pilots during that time were badass.
@Irfan87 i agree...all pilots in that area regardless which side they fought on were some Very brave people and need to be respected...if they are germans, americans,brits,polish people and of course the black fighter squadrons like the tuskeegee airmen...all of them !!! and we shouldnt argue about anyone being a nazi on youtube °
I ever hit the freaking lotto im going to Orlando FL and fly "Crazy Horse" one of the few 2 seaters left. It was 2500.00 for an hour. Next to sex flying the pony would be the best thing ever to do.
Sure, the Rolls Merlin V-12 made all the difference in the world. But don't forget the laminar flow wing design. This design offers low drag capability. It moves the thickest portion of the wing as far aft as possible. North American Aviation had some great design people working for them during and after the war. American muscle!!
@leesherman100 Lets not forget that the engine in the later Mustangs was the American made Packard V-1650. This was an updated and much improved version of the British made Rolls Royce Merlin.
Interesting, but Lee Atwater, designer of the P51, said the laminar flow wing design only made a little bit of difference and that was just at very high speed. He said the secret was in the way the cooling system scooped the air then compressed and ejected it to gain thrust. Very strange stuff, called the Meredith Effect.

He said the secret was in the way the cooling system scooped the air then compressed and ejected it to gain thrust. Very strange stuff, called the Meredith Effect.
@leesherman100 Oh, that's why they were so good then, because I was always wondering what made a P51 so different from a Spitfire, and I always thought the Spitfire's wing shape was better because it was rounded at the edges. Your explanation makes sense though, thank you.
Its true the Americans made improvements to the engine and added other stuff overall. But it is FAR harder to build something from ground up than to make improvements to it.
Yep, you're right. The "Americans" built it from ground up. At least the airframe. It was a derivative from the A-36 design. They put the Allison engine in it which was fine for its' original mission....low-level air-to-ground attacks. Then it was determined to make it an air superiority aircraft and it needed a high altitude, high horsepower engine, thus the retrofit with a rolls royce Merlin. then the American factories (Packard Motors) started making the american improved ver
Although the laminar flow design was a good idea in principle, later research by NACA (which developed the laminar airfoil) showed that the production P-51 wing was not smooth enough to achieve much laminar flow.
in 2007 i went to that mothers day airshow at Duxford, all they did with the P-51 was flips and nothing else, atleast they had a Canberra, and the Lancaster flying :P
@JoshTehVideoMaker Uh, every W II warbird flying is a museum piece, a work of art. Putting multi-G stresses on 65+ year old metal is not the best thing. ALSO most probably the (ultra expensive) insurance on that 51 you saw prohibited anything more than "flips". Don't know about you but I'm just damn happy to hear and see them, "flips" or not. .
@MrMorg19. The RR units were hand fitted due to the fact that the mass production of precision components in quantity was not as refined here in the UK. RR units were no more reliable than Packard units but often didn't feature interchangeable parts between individual engines due to the hand fitting processes used in RR's manufacture. I'm not mistaken, these are known and documented facts.
@AceWalkerAstronaut Lessons learned? RR made the greatest improvements to the Merlin; constantly improving it. They built twice as many as Packard did.
@temphoyos Right on range, wrong on everything else. The spitfire had the better kill ratio, and was the better gun platform. It was also faster (448 mph) and had a superior role and climb rate.
- and another one: Unknown crew chief, PTO, 1944: "Sir, that engine vibration was a bent propeller blade..." - pilot: "Oh! - uh..., yeah, that might have been the wave I hit.." - crew chief: "Ahh! - that also explains the flying fish in the radiator..."
@hoplite46 Actually P51s did have Merlins later in their life. They started with the Allison and changed to the Merlin when Packard started making them. You could say that change was what made the P51 a really great aircraft.r in the war.
@dacutler Actually you are only half right--yes, the P51 started life with the Allison V1710, but when the original customer (the RAF) took delivery they found that the performance especially at altitude was not up to expectation so some bright spark had the idea of putting in a Merlin (GREAT IDEA)-and it made the plane what it was intended to be & more. BTW, Packard Merlins were shipped to the UK during the war when RR couldn't produce enough. They worked well.
And that ladyes and gentlemen is the sound of freedom !

@CharleyFarley1040 Sorry Charlie, but you're wrong......A Vought F4U Corsair flown by Captain Jesse G. Folmar and a P-51 piloted by Major John Yingling, both shot down Mig 15's. Google is your friend, another great American invention.

@verboten77 Actually he is right.On 27th July 1952 the Hawker Sea Fire was the first piston engined fighter to shoot down a Mig15.

Interesting, but Lee Atwater, designer of the P51, said the laminar flow wing design only made a little bit of difference and that was just at very high speed. He said the secret was in the way the cooling system scooped the air then compressed and ejected it to gain thrust. Very strange stuff, called the Meredith Effect.

First of all, jokes abt dislikes are fucking lame and fucking old. Second, Bf109 had more kills than all the Allied planes put together. Im nt really a fan of the Bf109 and im certainly no Nazi sympathizer. But come on. Plus, German pilots scored the highest kills in WW2.
Irfan87 6 months ago
@Irfan87 Do you know why German pilots scored more kills?
1) Because they were fighting in Poland and Russia with 100% air superiority, fighting biplanes..
2) Because they flew hundreds of missions, while Allied pilots were sent home after 25 combat sorties. A German pilot could sustain major injuries, spend a week in a field hospital and be put back in the air.
3) If a German pilot was shot down, they were shot down over friendly territory. Especially toward the end of the war.

First of all i wasn't trolling and secondly, points number 2 and 3 dont really count bro. Id go into detail, but this is guaranteed to turn into a massive retarded YouTube fight i cant be bothered with. My point ultimately is, show some respect man. Bf109 pilots had as much skill and guts as any of the pilots in WW2. Fuck that, all fighter pilots during that time were badass.

Sure, the Rolls Merlin V-12 made all the difference in the world. But don't forget the laminar flow wing design. This design offers low drag capability. It moves the thickest portion of the wing as far aft as possible. North American Aviation had some great design people working for them during and after the war. American muscle!!

@leesherman100 Lets not forget that the engine in the later Mustangs was the American made Packard V-1650. This was an updated and much improved version of the British made Rolls Royce Merlin.

@leesherman100 Oh, that's why they were so good then, because I was always wondering what made a P51 so different from a Spitfire, and I always thought the Spitfire's wing shape was better because it was rounded at the edges. Your explanation makes sense though, thank you.

Its true the Americans made improvements to the engine and added other stuff overall. But it is FAR harder to build something from ground up than to make improvements to it.
Irfan87 6 months ago 8
@Irfan87
Yep, you're right. The "Americans" built it from ground up. At least the airframe. It was a derivative from the A-36 design. They put the Allison engine in it which was fine for its' original mission....low-level air-to-ground attacks. Then it was determined to make it an air superiority aircraft and it needed a high altitude, high horsepower engine, thus the retrofit with a rolls royce Merlin. then the American factories (Packard Motors) started making the american improved ver

Although the laminar flow design was a good idea in principle, later research by NACA (which developed the laminar airfoil) showed that the production P-51 wing was not smooth enough to achieve much laminar flow.

@JoshTehVideoMaker Uh, every W II warbird flying is a museum piece, a work of art. Putting multi-G stresses on 65+ year old metal is not the best thing. ALSO most probably the (ultra expensive) insurance on that 51 you saw prohibited anything more than "flips". Don't know about you but I'm just damn happy to hear and see them, "flips" or not. .

MrMorg19 10 months ago
@MrMorg19. The RR units were hand fitted due to the fact that the mass production of precision components in quantity was not as refined here in the UK. RR units were no more reliable than Packard units but often didn't feature interchangeable parts between individual engines due to the hand fitting processes used in RR's manufacture. I'm not mistaken, these are known and documented facts.

It's a British engine through and through, regardless of who built the individual unit.

@hoplite46 Actually P51s did have Merlins later in their life. They started with the Allison and changed to the Merlin when Packard started making them. You could say that change was what made the P51 a really great aircraft.r in the war.
dacutler 11 months ago 32
@dacutler Actually you are only half right--yes, the P51 started life with the Allison V1710, but when the original customer (the RAF) took delivery they found that the performance especially at altitude was not up to expectation so some bright spark had the idea of putting in a Merlin (GREAT IDEA)-and it made the plane what it was intended to be & more. BTW, Packard Merlins were shipped to the UK during the war when RR couldn't produce enough. They worked well.
