The P-51D is one of my favorites, if not my absolute favorite plane of all time.
It's funny that my favorite cars have bodies designed post WWII by British aircraft guys and American powerplants (Shelby Cobra, Alpine Tiger, Lotus, nasty boy Healeys) .. while the great P-51s have an American body with a British motor. ... Beautiful style and the Rolls Royce Merlin made it magic.

It was so fast that in a dive sometimes they would hit the sound barrier.
