History
The P-51B Mustang was the first Mustang to match North Americans sleek airframe with the awesome power of a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine.
It was this Mustang that gave the Allies their first truly capable bomber escort and Luftwaffe pilots their first taste of things to come.
The P-51B is a single engine, low wing, long range fighter. Its long range makes it ideal for escort purposes, and its performance as a fighter aircraft is better or at least equal to that of any enemy fighter that might be encountered.
The rate of climb was good and the high speed in level flight was exceptionally good at all altitudes, from sea level to 40,000 feet.
 
The airplane is very maneuverable with good controllability at indicated speeds to 400 MPH.
The stability about all axes is good and the rate of roll is excellent, however, the radius of turn is fairly large for a fighter.
The cockpit layout is excellent, but visibility is poor on the ground and only fair in level flight. The "Razorback" Merlin Mustangs P-51B and P-51C remained in service until the end of the war.
