Mustang (Paperback)

Mustang (Paperback Edition)

The North American Mustang is one of the most well-studied of aircraft.

However, much that is commonly understood about the Mustang, particularly its early Allison-powered variants, is not entirely correct or complete.

Myths and misconceptions persist across the decades. The common perception of the Allison Mustang is that of a flawed and ineffective aircraft, merely a prelude to the ‘definitive’ Merlin[1] engined versions.

This orthodoxy ignores the Allison Mustang’s contribution in service and influence on aircraft design. By placing the creation, evolution and use of the aircraft in full context, a new picture emerges.

Mustang: The Untold Story examines afresh the history of the aircraft and the men who flew it. In tactical use, strategy, politics, and the changing nature of World War II the Allison Mustang was one of the best aircraft of the war in the roles where it found its niche.

Through this new account, the significance of this vital aircraft can finally be appreciated.
