Today, the Mustang is a living legend and is remembered as probably the finest long-range single-seat piston-engined fighter ever built.

Here, in words and images, the esteemed aviation historian Martin Bowman tells the story of an aircraft that continues to provoke enthusiastic praise. 

We look at the Mustang's involvement in the Second World War and the Korean War, as well as other conflicts and engagements.

This new addition to the Images of War series serves as a tribute to an aircraft with a particularly impressive wartime record, the legacy of which is still felt today.

"Lots of ideas for game piece schemes or builds and dioramas for gamers and modelers. Military Enthusiasts get a huge variety of images from so many fronts and campaigns that this is a great resource to tie in with more prose sources for more of each story."

"Lots of diorama ideas and details in the photos."

"All of the images are well chosen and are provided as one image per page. A lot of information can also be gleaned from the photo captions."
