North American Aviation P-51D Mustang. The P-51 was designed to meet a requirement from the American-based British Purchasing Commission during WW2. The BPC wanted North American to build Curtiss P-40s under licence, but North American said 'We can do better than that!' - and they did. However, it wasn't until the Mustang airframe was re-engined with the legendary Rolls-Royce Merlin, that a star was born. Able to escort USAAF heavy bombers all the way to Berlin, it was a massive psychological blow to the Nazi regime. This example is being displayed at an air show in Massachusetts.

@AnnaElizabeth Here's a rare RB-25 (the 4th B-25 built, and still flying!). I am involved in the restoration of a DH Mosquito (yes, the 8th Air Force used them, too) See www.peoplesmosquito.org.uk Take care!
