P-51B Mustang. North American's Bastard Stepchild that Saved the Eighth Air Force, Hardback/Lowell F. Ford

The P-51B Mustang was delivered to the European Theater of Operations in the "cherished hope" that it could help achieve the destruction of Germany's aircraft industry and the Luftwaffe before Operation Overlord. This title tells the story of that aircraft from its development prior to the American entry into the war through to D-Day in June 1944.
