EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph, a P-51 Mustang fighter roars through the clear Californian sky above Inglewood, leaving a contrail of vapor in its wake. The P-51 Mustang, an iconic symbol of American aviation, was built by North American Aviation, Incorporated, in 1942. This particular Mustang holds a unique place in history as the only American-designed and built fighter aircraft to be adopted by the Royal Air Force (RAF) of Great Britain during World War II. The Mustang's sleek, streamlined design and powerful engine made it a formidable opponent in the skies. Its introduction to the RAF came at a crucial time, when the Allied forces were in desperate need of advanced fighter aircraft to counter the German Luftwaffe. The Mustang's impressive performance, including a top speed of over 400 miles per hour and a range of nearly 1,500 miles, proved to be a game-changer. The Mustang's success in the European theater of war was a testament to the ingenuity and manufacturing prowess of North American Aviation, Incorporated. This photograph, taken in October 1942, captures the essence of a pivotal moment in aviation history, as the P-51 Mustang solidified its reputation as a legendary fighter aircraft. The Mustang continued to serve with distinction in various military forces around the world long after the end of World War II, becoming a cherished symbol of American and Allied air power.
