Flight Characteristics of the North American P-51 Mustang: How to Fly the P-51 Fighter

This 1944 vintage World War 2 film covers all aspects of the theory & practice of P-51Mustang fighter flight operations, including takeoffs, landings, aerobatics, dive limits, and laminar wing airflow theory. Oscar nominee Lee J. Cobb plays Mustang designer “Dietz“ in this detailed pilot training film. Often called the best all around piston engine fighter of World War 2, Chuck Yeager became an Ace in the '51. The Mustang's very high speed and all 'round qualities as a fighter coupled with extreme range for use as a bomber escort and interdicting fighter bomber were crucial factors when the 8th Air Force turned the tide of the Air War over Europe. “One of all my favorite World War 2 aircraft with an all star cast!“ Zeno, Zeno's Warbird Video Drive-In Don't miss our P-51 DVD with five more videos & 130-page P-51D pilot's manual: Visit our aviation DVD store at for the
