About the aircraft

The P-51D Mustang IV was the RAF’s designation for late-model Mustang fighters supplied under Lend-Lease. These aircraft were used primarily as long-range escort fighters and ground-attack aircraft, operating over occupied Europe in the final years of WWII.

The Mustang’s exceptional range and performance made it one of the most important Allied aircraft in achieving air superiority over Europe.
