This fascinating story begins with post-World War Two sales of
surplus Mustangs to various foreign governments and a few civilian
customers. More than a decade later, in 1957 and 1958, the US Air
Force auctioned off its remaining inventory of P-51s. These
Mustangs became high-speed executive transports in the days before
the introduction of the LearJet and other corporate aircraft. Soon
after, in the mid-1960s and early 1970s, as the warbird movement
was gaining traction, many of the remaining Mustangs came onto the
civilian market. Today, these warbirds are the stars of airshows
around the world. The effort to restore them to as close to their
original wartime condition as possible has reached new levels of
authenticity. With over 140 images, accompanied by service
histories, this book shows the fighters where they should be seen -
in the air.
