Hey Fellas,

What made the Mustang so good? Remember its "the man, not the machine." The pilots that flew the P-51 Mustang is what made it truly great. Quite a few of your P-51 aces aswell as countless others had flown in other aircraft and utilized what they learned in those aircraft over to the P-51 Mustang when they flew into combat with it.

The Merlin was a contributing factor inwhich made the AIRCRAFT good, but, the design of the aircraft, its sleek lines is what REALLY helped.

My $0.02

Kind Regards,
MARNE
