Very Angry P-51 Engine Start

Crank Up the Engine

North American Aviation’s P-51 Mustang is a long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber that was in service during World War II and the Korean War. 

This long-range fighter bomber became an instrument to Allied victory, as it enabled the resumption of strategic bombing after the heavy losses unescorted bombers suffered in 1943. Its models were eventually modified by the British, using Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, which eventually became one of the most capable wartime fighters in America. 

Overall, we think that the sounds were amazing- we just love the sounds of that old engine roaring, and belching smoke from its 12-cylinder engine. Everything screams power, reliability, and an amazing range. 

Is the Mustang one of your favorite warbirds of all time? Let us know in the comments!
