P-51 Mustang: Development of the Long-Range Escort Fighter
By Paul A. Ludwig and Tom Tullis
Not just another book on the P-51 Mustang, this detailed and often
controversial book forms an investigative analysis into the often--and little
known--troubled design and development history of America’s premier piston-engine
fighter aircraft -- a machine that would later become famous as the scourge of the
Luftwaffe.
Supported by hundreds of rare photos and superb color
artwork, Ludwig then weaves a carefully crafted story around the concept of the escort
fighter leading to the Mustang’s eventual appearance in the skies over Berlin in
March 1944 and some remarkable conclusions.

Dumb But Lucky!
Confessions of a P-51 Pilot in World War II
By Richard K. CurtisSecond Lieutenant Dick Curtis arrived in Italy in May 1944, twenty years old
and part of a shipment of P-51 Mustang fighter pilots so desperately needed
that they were rushed into combat with less than thirty hours of flight time
in their new high-performance aircraft.
Six of the twelve pilots assigned to the 52nd Fighter Group were shot down
in the first two weeks. By his ninth mission, Curtis was the only one still
flying. A maverick, he barely escaped court-martial with his high-flying
antics. This hair-raising account
captures the air war in all its split-second terror and adrenaline-pumping
action. |
