North American P-51 Mustang in RAF Service Part 1 - Allison Engined Variants — the twenty-second volume of the Wingleader Photo Archive series, devoted solely to Allison-engined Mustangs in British service.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a photographic publication for modelers and aviation historians, not a kit. The twenty-second volume of the numbered Photo Archive series of the British publisher Wingleader was written by Colin Ford, who has long concerned himself with Mustangs in British service.
The distinguishing mark of this part is not a number but the engine: the volume keeps to the versions with the twelve-cylinder Allison, that is the machines the RAF designated Mustang Mk.I, Mk.IA and Mk.II. The Mustang came about to an order from the British Purchasing Commission of 1940 and surprised from the very start — thanks to the laminar flow wing profile and the radiator in the rear fuselage it was faster at low and medium altitude than the Spitfires of the day. The Allison without a two-stage supercharger limited it at high altitude, however, and so the Mustangs did not go to fighter squadrons but to army cooperation: tactical reconnaissance, photography with an oblique camera behind the pilot and low-level attacks over occupied Europe. The later Mustangs with the Merlin engine are another chapter and this volume does not take them in.
For modelers who build the Mustang in British form and need to tell the Allison versions apart from the later ones. It will appeal to readers interested in reconnaissance aviation as well.
