Yes, 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.
The Mustang was not deployed in Vietnam. It was used in the Korean war.
A mustang is a horse
the British hawker hurricane, it shot down the most planes then any others in ww2. The p51 which was only good at long range and was used late in the war to escort US bombers
There was a great variation of the range of WWII aircraft. Range of fighter aircraft was the biggest concern, and until the introduction of the p51 Mustang the bomber forces suffered huge losses because because the fighter escorts could not follow them all the way to the targets and back, leaving them vulnerable to German fighters. the range of the mustang allowed an escort to and from the targets, and they were able to inflict huge damages on the Reich.
these is only two plane but the hawker hurricane and the tomahawk were used in Africa and i believe the mustang might have been used there too. please add to this.
