North American P-51 Mustang
Entwicklung
The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang is an American long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber used during World War II and the Korean War, among other conflicts. The Mustang was designed in April 1940 by a team headed by James H. Kindelberger of North American Aviation in response to a requirement of the British Purchasing Commission. The commission approached NAA to build Curtiss P-40 fighters and the newer P-46 under license for the Royal Air Force . Rather than build an old design from another company, NAA proposed the design and production of a more modern fighter. The prototype NA-73X airframe was rolled out on 9 September 1940, 102 days after the contract was signed, and first flew on 26 October 1940.
Die North American Aviation P-51 Mustang ist ein amerikanischer einsitziger Langstreckenjäger und Jagdbomber, der unter anderem im Zweiten Weltkrieg und im Koreakrieg eingesetzt wurde. Die Mustang wurde im April 1940 von einem Team unter der Leitung von James H. Kindelberger von North American Aviation als Reaktion auf eine Anforderung der britischen Einkaufskommission entwickelt. Die Kommission wandte sich an NAA, um Curtiss P-40-Jagdflugzeuge und die neuere P-46 in Lizenz für die Royal Air Force zu bauen. Anstatt eine alte Konstruktion eines anderen Unternehmens zu bauen, schlug NAA die Entwicklung und Herstellung eines moderneren Jagdflugzeugs vor. Der Prototyp NA-73X wurde am 9. September 1940, 102 Tage nach Vertragsunter-zeichnung, vorgestellt und flog erstmals am 26. Oktober 1940.
