Summary:
Of the primary fighter types used by the USA in the European Theatre
of Operations in the World War II, the P-51 Mustang became the
principle escort for heavy bombers. There were more than 1,700 in
service by the end of hostilities, the majority with the 14 fighter
groups of the Eighth Air Force, and it is the décor of these units'
Mustangs with which this book is primarily concerned. Roger Freeman
provides not only a valuable reference source for artists and
modelers, but also aids the identification of aircraft in
photographs. The photographs reproduced in this study have for the
most part been selected to show particular markings in detail, and in
the case of the P-51 Mustang, the variety of schemes is considerable.
The book also reproduces a selection of combat reports from leading
Mustang pilots.
