Description
The P-51 Mustang is one of the best fighters of all the time and although American design, it owes a lot to the Great Britain for its genesis. It was in 1940, when British Buying Committee asked North American Aviation (NAA) to build the Curtiss P-40s for the RAF. NAA president James Kindelberger offered Britons development of much better plane instead. Britons agreed and the design team led by chief designer Edward Schmued, who was German immigrant with Austrian roots, commenced their work. The preliminary design was approved on May 4, 1940, final assembly and engine installation began on September 9 (just 127 days after approval), and the first flight of the NA-73X prototype followed on October 26.
