Germans recognized the P-51 Mustang as a formidable adversary during World War II, appreciating its impressive range, speed, and agility. The aircraft's ability to escort bombers deep into German territory and effectively engage enemy fighters posed a significant challenge to Luftwaffe operations. Many German pilots acknowledged the P-51's superiority in dogfights, which contributed to the declining effectiveness of their air defenses as the war progressed. Overall, the P-51 was seen as a game-changer in the air war over Europe.
There was a great variation of the range of WWII aircraft. Range of fighter aircraft was the biggest concern, and until the introduction of the p51 Mustang the bomber forces suffered huge losses because because the fighter escorts could not follow them all the way to the targets and back, leaving them vulnerable to German fighters. the range of the mustang allowed an escort to and from the targets, and they were able to inflict huge damages on the Reich.
The Germans were convinced any invasion would be at the narrowest part of the English Channel - between Dover and Calais.
Most of the Germans thought the invasion would happen at Straits of Calais. This was the shortest crossing point.
The U-boats were the name of the three boats that the Germans sunked.
The P-51 has not had its "last" flight. Many P-51's (now F-51) are still flying today.
probably the p51 mustang because I have studied it and it was the best american fighter in europe
The P51 mustang was a famous fighter used by the allies in World War Two.

P51 d mustang is a ww2 fighter aircraft used by the US and allies during the latter stages of the war. it was the first allied fighter capable of supplying protection to the bomber fleets all the way into Germany and back to the bases in England. It was designed and built by North American.
Yes they did, it is an utter and total BS myth that they did not lose a single bomber, there loses were among the lowest of any fighter squadrons. But it is debatable if it was more skill or the equipment i.e P51 Mustang
The first fighter plane was designed in 1914. It was the Fokker D. II, named for its designer, Antonne Fokker. He was Dutch, but worked for the Germans.
437 MPH
The first real fighter plane was the Fokker E1, designed by Dutch aircraft designer Antoine Fokker in 1914. At the time, Fokker was working for the Germans.
No Way!
P51
The Germans used many different aircraft in WW1. They had many observer aircraft and small fighter as well as seaplanes and some bombers.
All small fighter plane than bombers. Like P51, P47, P38 etc... All of them has been called "little friends". Why Little Friends? They give a protection to the bombers, for that!
