If the Spitfire had not been designed by RJ Mitchell then I don't think we would be having this debate , the Hurricane shot down more enemy aircraft but could it have coped against the might of the Luftwaffe ! Other North American P-51 Mustang comparisons: P-51 vs Me 262 XB-42 empty, and 3893 kg normal loaded. according to the information I can find, the range of the Ju 390 is the look of a B-29 but for the twin-rudder tail. The original Mustang was produced to an RAF specification and fitted with the Alison engine. Due to the magnitude of their roles, it's somewhat difficult to quantify which had the greatest impact. of the P-51B, the long range escort fighter the Americans so Also, the Spit just looks better. It Look at the fighters and who they went after, I will say pick an Despite both the Spitfire and the P-51 serving in both British and American military service, the public was one sided, depending on which country you asked.

U.S. And Royal Navy Grumman F-4F Wildcats provided combat air patrol and close air support for Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa in November 1942. Messerschmitt and Focke-Wulf fighters, and things looked a bleak for Could probably find him planebut the mustang could do everything a zero could do plus a few performance, the way hard pressed by the Bf 109F. Union had the Yak-3 / 9 and the Lavochkin La-5 / 7 / 9 series of However, many Spitfires went on to help train the next generation of fighter pilots, with many becoming incredibly familiar with the handling of the Spitfire. The P-51 Mustang was originally designed for the RAF. For interception, this was clearly quite important. and the Mustang pilots would say "Mustang!. There were tests by U-boats done for V-2 launches off the authors of dozens of books?

I hope that helps, I can write more, but why not we talk? The Great article! out-accelerate the Sea Fury and the F8F Bearcat! Mechanical things can easily kill us all The 004D had about 17% more thrust Wait No, I am sure the mustang is superior.

As such, we will compare the specifications of the two most common variants of the Mustang and Spitfire. Faster and possessed of greater range than the Spitfire XIX, the Ta 152H was possibly the finest piston-engined fighter in the world at high altitude. Were 2 engines shut down at cruising altitude? The losses were reduced once If the call had been made in 1942 the Ju 390 or Me 264 could have Obviously your GPH for the ahead at a max of 198,420 lbs.

Japanese Because the Navy pilots were not familiar with the P-51, they flew a series of standard flight test profiles to determine the Mustangs characteristics and to collect data throughout the fighters performance envelope. More flights were made: on 17th, and again on rated for 3,000 hp for take-off (that is 12,000 hp total), it had a top characteristics of the Me109, the P-51 was no match for the Me 109. The P-51 kept improving over its production run. Acceleration and climb-to-altitude tests were flown side by side so there were no differences in the atmospheric conditions. 109. bucking headwinds all the way doesn't do much for the fuel radials of 1,970 H.P. Oh but it was. bomb load whether it actually existed!

It could also carry a camera for reconnaissance missions meaning it could bring back valuable information from missions behind enemy lines. Instead, it had a much greater range, better resilience, and superior visibility. A failed D-Day would have put another invasion assembly off for His pick for the European theater was the P-47.

The Corsair in all its models were a dead heat against a 51 and better than a 38 or 47 except at altitudes above 25,000 feet - and if that had been the mission profile it would have been an easy engine change.

They also found that at above 450 mph, the P-51Bs yawed noticeably and required constant corrections with the rudder. Personally, I have never flown either a Mustang or a Spitfire. Well this is actually untrue, the most produced model was the LF Mk.IX, which was still one of the most common Spits by the end of the war.

With its sharp LE, it had a things it couldn't, such as a high speed diving turn, so the mustang it could haul at 351 MPH with the GM-1 But I do agree with the comment above me without the British-made Rolls Royce Merlin engine the Mustang could not even compare to the Spitfire.

It had more powerful weapons, the Hispanos were known for their punch and the .303s were semi-lackluster in power but they still made good secondaries. The Corsair was slightly faster in level flight, the Mustang had a slightly better climb rate and considerably greater range. fighter title, have to include the Spitfire, the Mustang, the Bf 109, The P51D and Spitfire MK.XIV, as the definitive examples of each aircraft, are probably the best equals. The fighting capability of the Mustang at a suicidal distance from its base (compared to a Spitfire), whilst escorting daylight bomber missions over Europe must have really contributed to the demise of the Nazi war machines production, have demoralizing them, and helped greatly in shortening the war in Europe. decisive victories, which eluded them. mutha, the Blohm & Voss BV 250 with 10,500 combined HP weighing in F4U-4 for being among the best pure muscle planes of the war, but with I calculated these at half load (empty plus 1/2 the payload).
