Historical Information

The P-51B/C Mustang was an American long-range fighter, widely used during World War II. These versions were employed by both the USAAF and the Royal Air Force (RAF) of the United Kingdom. Thanks to the installation of underwing Bazooka rocket launchers, the aircraft gained the ability to carry out effective attacks on ground targets, including armored vehicles and fortifications. Unguided rockets were commonly used, particularly during the European campaigns from 1944-1945.
