I had the incredible opportunity to fly in a P-51D named “Rebel” at the young age of 14 in the skies over Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It was the best hour of my life. Even as we taxied out, the Mustang just seemed to want to just jump straight up into the air. The fighter just seemed to come to life the second the rubber left the pavement. We formed up with and flew in formation with three other Mustangs, and we just danced in the skies. The roaring Merlin soon faded into the background as I watched with eager eyes as the horizon flipped over to green over blue as we did a barrel roll. Then flight lead wagged his wings. I asked my pilot what that meant, and he’s just told me to hang on! I watched as the two Mustangs suddenly snapped hard left, and then I realized what was about to happen. I braced as Rebel quickly rotated 90 degrees then pulled into a 4 G turn. My guts went into my feet as I fought to keep my head up. After doing a full 360, my body felt much lighter when she finally leveled out. Far too quickly, we were back on solid ground. I watched from my little jump seat as the four bladed prop slowly wound down as the Merlin powered off. My knees were still shaking as I stumbled out of the cockpit. All I could think about for weeks, no, months after that was just the feeling of soaring through the heavens in that magnificent plane. It is a moment I will never forget, and one that will never be topped until the moment I’m behind the controls and bringing a Mustang into the air myself!

I have acquired quite a few model kits made after his black night fighter and one of them I got in 2004 even has his name inside on the instruction sheet...blew me away when I saw it, but sadly I couldn't show him because he was killed in New Braunfels, TX in a Formula 1 air race on July 7, 1990 when an "illegally participating" active NASA shuttle pilot clipped his wing.

1. The P-51's wing profile allowed airflow to remain laminar for a greater length of the wing chord than most of the other contemporary wing profiles. This did make it efficient, but there's no such thing as a "non-laminar flow" and "laminar flow" wing design - it's a proportional difference between airflow separating at, say, 50% chord length or at 60% chord length. At which point it's called "laminar" or not is largely arbitrary. And the wing being classified as "laminar flow" was not really that significant for making the Mustang what it was. It played a part, yes, but a fairly minor one. 2. The radiator producing a small amount of thrust is called the Meredith effect and it was not by any means unique to the P-51. The Bf 109, Spitfire, Hurricane, Yak-1/3 and Yak-7/9 aircraft used it, to name but a few. 3. The P-51B/C model was just as important as the P-51D. The engine swap from Allison to Packard Merlin engine happened with the P-51B/C models, which was produced with two different cockpit models: A "birdcage" canopy, and a "Malcolm hood" type canopy. However, P-51B and P-51C were actually the same aircraft: B-models were built in Inglewood, California; C-models were built in Dallas, Texas. The P-51B/C model was equipped with four .50-caliber machine guns, just like the earlier P-51A. The British name for this version was the Mustang Mk.III, and it was probably the fastest war-time Mustang with the engine running at +25psi boost pressure, equivalent to 80.8 inches of mercury. Unfortunately, the P-51B/C models are currently not available in War Thunder - but perhaps some day in the future...? 4. The major change leading to P-51D was the introduction of a bubble canopy for better visibility. However, this caused some increase in the fuselage drag coefficient compared to the earlier P-51B/C models, but the visibility improvements in combat proved to be worth it. The British name for this version was the Mustang Mk.IV, which was also bloody quick but marginally slower than the Mk.III. Additionally, the reduced height of rear fuselage caused some loss of directional stability, which is why later models of P-51D were equipped with a leading edge extension, or a "strake" of the vertical stabilizer, similar to what was fitted on late P-47D models. This upgrade was also retrofitted on many earlier P-51D models that came out of factory without it. 5. Paint configurations varied a lot with Mustangs, regardless of the type. There were P-51B/C models that were metal-coloured - some say unpainted but that's not strictly true, the metal surfaces were painted with a metal paint to protect the aircraft's actual skin from corrosion. And some P-51B/C models had some degree of camouflage paint on them. Some were fully painted, some just on the upper surfaces. The majority of P-51D models were left with clear metal paint, but there were some that were painted over on the top surfaces. This could vary between different units. There is an anecdote about a commander of some unit being on flight, and seeing clear metal P-51s taking off and clearly visible against the dark ground, and simply deciding that all planes in his unit would have painted top surfaces during summer to make them not so glaringly visible. 6. The Aeroproducts propeller used in the P-51K was generally considered inferior in quality to the Hamilton Standard propeller. That's part of the reason why many of those aircraft were delivered to China, or relegated to training role... 7. The P-51H was originally based on the XP-51F, which was a research project to lighten the Mustang to give it more performance. This project eventually developed into a completely new design, even though it bore superficial resemblance to the P-51D. In all honesty it's not really that similar to the original Mustangs, so the validity of calling it a P-51 at all is kind of suspect. It should probably be called the F-51H instead, even though the type number is the same, the different classification would at least make it look different enough to make it more clear that it was a different aircraft. The F-82 Twin Mustang was likewise based on this project. 8. The only P-51s in the game that I haven't flown are the Thunder League P-51A, the Chinese P-51K, and the Swedish J26 (because I haven't received the latter two yet). I don't particularly like the Mustang Mk.IA and the US P-51, but I do like the A-36 Apache. Of the Merlin-powered variants, I particularly like the P-51D-10, D-20 and D-30 due to their improved stability. The P-51D-5 is capable, but difficult to control due to the reduced directional stability. The P-51H is not one of my favourites due to being limited to only 5 minutes of emergency power, and the F-82 I just straight up dislike for being a weird abomination of nature.

The A-36 was actually still called the Mustang, there was a brief effort by crewmen to change the name during the scicily invasion to call it the _Invader_ yet it was turned down to not reveal to the enemy that it was a dive bomber version of the P-51 and the invader name was already given to the A-26 The Apache name comes from what _very_ early examples of Mustangs when they were once called Apaches. This name quickly changed to the Mustang, and the name 'Apache' was attributed to the A-36 in the 80's when it reality the A-36 was always called Mustang.

I was taken for a ride in the Commemorative Air Force's P-51D-25NA just last October.

Take off, flight, landing; all of it was the smoothest ever, even when pulling 4G's. It definitely doesn't sound like a lot, but when you're untrained, that can feel like you're being crushed.

I remember when I was playing the P-51D-30, I got so used to the aircraft that I extracted its maximum potential, I used the manual engine control, and when turning I used the takeoff and landing flaps in addition to the combat flap... That secured me several victories, mainly in dogfights with tight turns, thanks to the use of the flaps, as it greatly improved lift and cornering capacity at low speed... For those of you who are going to use these tips, be careful not to break the flaps by activating them at very high speeds.

@@ltankhsd In my experience 50 cals are really good. They usually have a buttload of ammo, and at least 6 of them on a plane, short burst is usually enough to obliterate most of enemies. Though on a sabre they're rather trash...

Torpedo ju88 when?

[@liquidleopard4495]

Fun fact: The A-36 Apache needed dive brakes because it was a DIVE BOMBER. Somebody at Gaijin must understand the term "dive bomber", if the Ju 87, Dauntless and Helldiver are in the game. There is surviving WWII film, and it's been on KZbin for a while now, showing an A-36 squadron on dive bombing missions in the Italian campaign.

Credit should be given to the Constructor with North American Aircraft: Edgar Schmued, (born in Germany, who emigrated to the US and became later US citizen) who was the Chief Constructor of the P51 Mustang and later the famous P86 - see Wikipedia: "Edgar O. "Ed" Schmued (Schmüd; 1899-1985) was a famous Austrian/German-American aircraft designer, famed for his design of the iconic North American P-51 Mustang and, later, the F-86 Sabre while at North American Aviation. He later worked on other aircraft designs as an aviation consultant.

Technically the f82 isnt 2 p51's stuck together, it was a complete redesign and only share something like 5 parts with the p51, it was one of the main reasons it took so long to develop

The mustang and spitfire are like some of the iconic piston engine aircraft

[@nathanjohnston809]

Instead of wasting time creating a video about planes that have been out since the game launched, why can’t you spend this time instead of making worthless KZbin vids but instead fix the in game problems like helicopter battles(30km maps what?) and improve graphical and online server performance. Not ranting because warthunder is the only game I really enjoy but still, listen to your player base.

[@jacobshultz5543]

Dude, companies have different divisions, the people who make these videos aren't the same people developing the game. It's called a PR division.

[@TT-sp7jo]

My favorite mustang is the F82. I used to attack gunpods and AP shells to do ground strike on lightpillboxes. It out ran most yaks at high altitude. Hands down best mustang out of all.

[@lieutenant2463]

My first flight on the p51h was last night and after 3 kills in quick succession I can say that I already love it very much

[@lukefrombk]

There are a few myths in this video about the mustang. The Mustang didn't have 100% laminar flow wings. It had laminar flow "style" wings that produced SOME laminar flow. Also while the radiator design did produce SOME thrust, it wasn't substantially more thrust compared to other nations during WWII using similar radiator designs.

[@joshuamaidment6392]

I own 2 mustangs. The P-51 with 20mm hispanos and the first in the D line. But, I still prefer the earlier model. I fly it a lot in Sim battle and Realistic too. The Mustang series bores its place to my heart and sits there, being a beautiful and rewarding aircraft to fly.

[@randomfish2054]

I think we should make Keeping up with the mustangs

[@nolanbowen8800]

You missed the P 51 B (built in California) and C (built in Texas)c which was faster than the D? They were the first ones with the Rolls Royce (later built by Packard) Merlin. It didn't have the bubble canopy bot the Malcom Hood solved visibility problems. With the large in fuselage tank and the drop tanks it was able to escort the B 24s and B17s all the way into Germany. It took the measure of the FW 190s and the Me 109s. The free world owes much to them.

[@chadyoung9934]

Glorious age of piston aircraft indeed, i love modern aircraft to pieces. But props will always be my favorite type of aircraft.

[@jamesshaw3500]

When they add the a-10 they need to do one of these for the thunderbolt.

[@DDD420]

James Shaw I think the A-10 would be useless. A-10 would be obliterated within seconds in a dog fight. A10 is more of a support type maybe add it in a sim but not for air arcade

[@michalofat2019]

I love P-51 with 4 20 milimeter cannons. It's one of my favourite aircraft in the game.

[@Gordziu_]

Mustang is my favorite plane so far

[@kinglouiev9530]

Now you guys added one more horsey🐴. The P-51C-10 Red Tailed Mustang.

[@Virchov]

It is such an amazing airplane. I believe it is not suitable for new people jointing the game. At least personally I found it difficult to make profit out of RB with this airplane in game with the D5 model. To play it safe, I guess that mastering boom and zoom tactics first is a must. Also, it resists lots of speed when diving, but energy conservation is not as efficient as in a bf109 so the advice is “don’t dive into a target if you’re not certain of an escape route”. Plan your moves, be patient, and play it safe. Oh almost forgot: use the rudder! It could save you. Mustangs in real life were not forgiving when not flying by the book. Rudder was the key factor in most of the cases. It flew like a dream in the hands of good pilots. Catch you in the skies fellas.

[@jayman0079]

I just got my first P51D a few days ago it preforms really well

[@TitaniumEdge]

I would love to see the XP-51F in game as some sort of event vehicle, although it did have like 2 prototypes. Either way, nice video... btw the P-51H is probably the fastest propeller driven plane in the game, at least in a straight line.

[@nuddin99]

Just because its a laminar flow wing, does not mean it achieves laminar airflow. The rivets/fasteners/screws all need to be flush with the body to achieve laminar flow. Most of the P-51s produced in WW2 did not achieve laminar flow because quality control of that level would be incredibly expensive.

[@Badger_325]

The P-51H in game basically takes most of the rules of using the Mustang, and throws those suckers out the window. I've seen so many mustang pilots use it in a turn fight and they win but if you tried it in a P-51D variant, you would have mixed results.

[@rafiraffandiirhan1318]

one of the best prop in the game. it fasts, can turn tightly, it can climbs. if you using P51-H there is no way you can lose, except you try dogfighting with spitfire.

[@Badger_325]

@@rafiraffandiirhan1318 yeah 100%, maybr the only category it falls a little behind in is firepower. Dont get me wrong .50s still hit hard but at its tier i think its one of two fighters that rely on machine guns and not cannons

The Hispano cannons on the P-51 were so powerful that I had just fired 6 shots and then a Bf-109 was destroyed.

[@gdgdgdgdist]

I love the American P-51 with 20mm machine guns. Tank bust with AP belts in ground RB and a good fighter to get easy pilot snipes if you're good at dogfighting

[@haozewang6097]

Ok, I will comment on what it was like. You try to climb, the rest of your team doesn't, you still end up below a 109, you are forced to dive, so you dive, you get a Hitlerbolt on you, and you go home with nothing but a repair cost.

I played the A-36 for quite some time but idk it has dive brakes Answering the question: P-51: Great fire power, guns jam quickly, not enough ammo P-51C: It's alright P-51D: It's alright but i'll give it an extra point cuz it has 2 more guns P-51H: Pure monster (that is if you have altitude to dive from)

[@filipic12]

after all these years, you still didnt add the legendary mustang of the tuskegee airmen, id love to see the p51C with the redtails paintjob, a real missed opportunity if you ask me either way, the mustang family is really a great addition to the game, tho i wish the p51A was still available

The laminar flow wing was about 40% effective. Australia built Mustangs, along with seven other types.
