Historical background of the F-82 Twin Mustang

The North American F-82 Twin Mustang made history as the last piston-engined fighter built for the United States Air Force, being a twin-fuselage version of the famous P-51 Mustang. The F-82F/G was used extensively in the early period of the Cold War, as well as during the Korean War (1950–1953). It was designed primarily for long-range bomber escort, air defense, and carrying out night and adverse weather missions. Of particular note is its participation in the first aerial engagement of the Korean War, where it shot down an enemy aircraft as early as June 27th, 1950.
