The '''P-51 Mustang''' was an allied fighter plane of [[WWII]].  This plane served in the [[European]] and [[Pacific]] Theaters, and is probably the most well known [[airplane]] of the war.  It had a Rolls Royce engine and six heavy machine guns.  Over 15,000 P-51s were produced during the war, and many of them served in the [[Korean War]] as well, mainly in ground support missions.<ref>Aces, by William Yenne, 2000</ref> The most numerous (and well-known) version of this fighter was the P-51D, with a distinctive bubble canopy and large fuel capacity.<ref>Aircraft vs. Aircraft, by Norman Franks, Barnes & Noble Books, 1998</ref>

The '''P-51 Mustang''' was an allied fighter plane of [[WWII]].  This plane served in the [[European]] and [[Pacific]] Theaters, and is probably the most well known [[airplane]] of the war.  The P-51 was the first fighter plane flown by the Allies that had the range to escort bombers to any target in Europe.  This dramatically reduced bomber losses, increased losses to the German Luftwaffe, and made bombing missions much more effective.  It had a Rolls Royce engine and six heavy machine guns.  Over 15,000 P-51s were produced during the war.  The most numerous (and well-known) version of this fighter was the P-51D, with a distinctive bubble canopy and large fuel capacity.<ref>Aircraft vs. Aircraft, by Norman Franks, Barnes & Noble Books, 1998</ref>

While the P-51 is most famous for its service in the European theater, several Mustang units served in Asia and the Pacific.  The first Mustangs in the theater were assigned to the [[China]]-[[Burma]]-[[India]] front in September 1943.  Mustangs also joined the fighting in the [[Philippines]] and central Pacific in 1945.<ref>Mustang and Thunderbolt Aces of the Pacific and CBI, by John Stanaway, Osprey Publishing, 1999</ref>
