Begins with a history of the development and operational use of the Allison-engined variants. The P-51 Mustang initially came into being to help provide the British with as many first-line fighters as possible at a time when they were needed the most as Germany prepared to invade England. Lt. Benjamin Kelsey, the head of the Army Air Corps Pursuit Projects Office at Wright Field, Ohio, used his knowledge of aerodynamics and his ingenuity to ensure that the U. S. Army would also acquire the Mustang as America’s entry into World War II became more imminent with each passing day. The history chapter not only covers the development of the early Mustang variants, but it also summarizes their valuable contributions to the Allied war effort.
The next chapter takes a closer look at each of the Allison-engined variants, pointing out their differences and features with informative text and photographs. The A-36 dive bomber version gets special treatment with no less than thirty-seven photographs, many of which illustrate its unique features and details. The variants chapter covers both the fighter and photo-recon variants of each version. Scale drawings are provided for the production variants, and differences and unique features are indicated on these drawings.
Next comes the Allison-engined Mustang Details chapter that provides in-depth coverage of the common details of these variants. Nine different sections in this chapter include more than 140 photographs that illustrate the details more extensively than any other publication. 139 of these photographs are in color, and most were taken specifically for Detail & Scale.
245 photographs, over 175 of which are in full color
plus ten scale drawings
seven full-color aircraft profiles
