∙ 14y agoYes, the P-51 Mustang was one of the definitive fighters of World War II.
It was able to meet on even terms the Messerschmitt Bf-109 and Focke-Wulf Fw-190, and, in pairs, it was effective at destroying the Messerschmitt Me-262 jet fighter.
Even better, it was able to do all of this over Berlin.
