P-51B/C Mustang Malcolm Hood Aircraft – Historical Background:
The American P-51B/C Mustang is one of the most famous World War II fighters, forming the backbone of United States Army Air Forces operations between 1943 and 1945. The distinctive "Malcolm Hood" canopy improved pilot visibility and was widely used on aircraft operating over Europe and the Far East. These Mustangs escorted Allied bombers during the so-called "deep penetration raids" and took part in numerous dogfights.
