Movie Monday – January 12 – P-51 Mustang – Circa 1942

This week’s Movie Monday was found with some deep digging around the digital vault. It’s a 1940s film detailing the flight characteristics of the North American P-51 Mustang fighter. When you watch, please take into account the historical era in which the film was produced. It really provides an interesting historical and technical viewpoint on the development of the WWII fighter aircraft.
