Mustang at War - a photographic tribute

Bought my copy in 1978, using my dad's money, it's still worth every cent of it. Must have at least 20 books about the P-51 by now, but as photobook alone this one still stands out. The 160 pages have not the usual black-and-white pics, but some in color as well. But this books has other strenghts as well. The text is very informative and covers not only the WW2 history of this all-time American great, but also tells the Korean story. Some of the text chapters are written by co-authors who tell their own use and history from actual (combat)experience, even a ferry pilot tells her story.

Great overview of the best fighter of WWII

I have had a copy of this work for several years. Although not large in size, it is in content. One of the few books on the Mustang to cover the entire operational history of the fighter from its design for the RAF to its service in Korea. If you can find used copies, buy two. One to store and one to use. A must for every lover of the P-51.
