The Merlin engine did wonders for the Mustang. The plane gets all the credit, even though the engine was responsible for alot of the success.

And the majority of people tend to forget that the P-51 was designed by a German. What?! Yep. His name was Edgar Schmued...

So the credit goes to Germany, England, and America wether you like it or not. Can't wait to see how many thumbs down I get because I state facts. :D

Best sounding aircraft ever. Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up to hear it fly.

When I hear the sound of a Mustang or a Spitfire I begin to drool like Homer Simpson thinking of porkchops

@BipedalMammal

Sorry but the P51 was a quick design for the Americans given by the British because the Americans wanted their own version of the Spitfire................who didn't.

@BipedalMammal Schmued was Austrian. Never held German citizenship.

This is the paint scheme of the 357th Fighter Group, Bud Anderson's group, out of Leiston/Yoxford, England. It is red and yellow checkerboard. The Tuskegee group was the 332nd from Italy, and as Sweetonebroken indicates, had a red spinner and red vertical stabilizer tail. BTW, there are at least two restored Old Crows, one in the US, and one Norway. If there is a third, I apologize for not knowing offhand where it is based.

Nope, that's Bud Anderson's old warplane, well a replica of it, and it was not a Tuskegee warplane, if it were, the entire nose cose would be solid red and the entire tail section would also be painted red with a little yellow stripe on the rudder
