P-82 Twin Mustang & P-51 Mustang: High Spirited Mustang, the Fighter That Became a Legend Volume 1

by Rene FRANCILLON and René J. Francillon

"Sired by the English out of an American mother, the Mustang has had no parent in the Army Air Corps or at Wright field to appreciate and push its good points," as Major Thomas Hitchcock, then Assistant Military Air Attach in London, wrote on 8 October 1942. But the British contribution to the Mustang goes beyond providing the Merlin engine that turned the P-51 into the key escort fighter for the B-17s and B-24s over Germany.
