I do not currently play War Thunder because my PC can't handle the graphics and the graphics card cannot be easily upgraded.  However, I plan on acquiring a better PC and play the game in the future, but until then I will contribute to this wiki.  I am experienced with MediaWiki-based wikis and am a near expert at wikitext.

In 1940, North American Aviation approached the British Purchasing Commission, which was responsible for supplying the Royal Air Force with aircraft, hoping to sell its new B-25 Mitchell bomber to the RAF.  The BPC was not interested in the Mitchell, but asked if NAA could produce the P-40, which was desperately needed but in short supply.  NAA was interested in the offer, but said that they could build a better fighter around the same Allison V-1710-39 engine that powered the P-40.  In March, the BPC ordered 320 of these aircraft, which were given the company designation '''NA-73''' and would eventually be known as '''Mustangs''' by the RAF.
 
 
 
=== NA-73X ===
 
 
 
Just seven months later, the '''NA-73X''' prototype took to the air.  The aircraft featured many improvements over the P-40, including a [Laminar flow laminar flow] wing and radiator scoop that took advantage of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meredith_effect Meredith effect], acting as a source of extra thrust.  As a result of the rushed production, the NA-73X was built using many innovative techniques such as being built in five main sections which were fitted with the required systems before being joined.  The aircraft was armed with two [[M2 Browning (12.7 mm)|.50 caliber Browning MGs]] in the nose and two [[Browning (7.62 mm)|.30 caliber Browning MGs]] in each wing.
 
 
 
=== Mustang Mk I ===
 
 
 
The first production model of the Mustang was the '''Mustang Mk I'''.  With the exception of a modified carburetor scoop, the Mustang Mk I was identical to the NA-73X.  In addition to the original 320 aircraft, the BPC ordered 300 more Mustang Mk Is, which were given the company designation NA-83.
 
 
 
The USAAC took interest in the RAF's new fighter.  The BPC supplied two NA-73s to the USAAC for evaluation, which were redesignated '''XP-51'''.
 
 
 
=== P-51 ===
 
 
 
Despite the XP-51's performance being superior to all other US fighters at the time, the USAAC did not see a need for the fighter.  However, it did order 150 aircraft as '''P-51'''s or '''P-51-1'''s (NA-91) on behalf of the RAF for Lend Lease.  57 of these were held back by the USAAC (now renamed USAAF) after the attack on Pearl Harbor.  All but two of these were fitted with a pair of K.24 cameras for tactical reconnaissance missions and were redesignated '''F-6A'''.
 
 
 
The .30 caliber Brownings in the wings of the Mustang Mk I were replaced by [[Hispano Mk.II (20 mm)|20 mm Hispano Mk II cannons]] on the P-51, while the nose guns of the former were removed.  The aircraft was originally named '''Apache''' by the USAAF, but this was soon changed to '''Mustang''' for consistency with the British version.  In RAF service, the P-51 was named '''Mustang Mk IA'''.

*[[Mustang Mk IA (Great Britain)]]
 
 
 
=== P-51A ===
 
 
 
In June 1942, the USAAF ordered 1,200 '''P-51A'''s (NA-99).  The P-51A was powered by the improved V-1710-81 engine and armed with two .50 caliber Brownings in each wing.
 
 
 
Only 360 aircraft were completed as P-51As, with the rest of the order completed as P-51Bs.  50 of these aircraft were sent to the RAF as '''Mustang Mk II'''s.

*[[P-51A]] ''Thunder League''
 
 
 
=== A-36A Apache ===
 
 
 
The first Mustang variant ordered specifically for use by the USAAF was the '''A-36A''' (NA-97) dive-bomber version.  Powered by a V-1710-87 engine and armed with two .50 caliber Brownings in the nose and two .50 caliber Brownings in each wing, the A-36A was fitted with dive breaks on the top and bottom of the wings and underwing racks capable of carrying 500 lb bombs.  The A-36A was also the first Mustang variant to have provisions for drop tanks.
 
 
 
Problems with the dive breaks opening prematurely led to some units wiring the breaks closed.  This problem was eventually fixed by modifying the breaks' hydraulic actuators.  Another problem was the ventral radiator, which would cause the engine to overheat if damaged.  Unfortunately, this would not be remedied for the entirety of P-51 production.
 
 
 
In USAAF service, the A-36A was nicknamed '''Apache''', but this was rarely used.  The USAAF ordered 500 aircraft, one of which was sent to the RAF under the designation '''Mustang Mk I (Dive Bomber)'''.

Welcome to my user page. My username is thunderdog1138 (wordplay of thunder and underdog, and the number 1138, a number often used in movies by George Lucas), but you may call me thunderdog (as long as there isn't another thunderdog in the conversation) or TD1138 if you like.
