A  North American P-51 Mustang Fighter Plane - Pilot's Delight

This has a tremendous WOW factor and will impress any visitor to your home. Would be suitable for a large theatre room for that airplane buff or pilot {both little and big boys}. We can guess that few of your friends will have this item in their large homes or executive office suite.

THINK BIG

If  John Travolta is on your gift list or another airplane enthusiast or military pilot - this sure might be the perfect gift  for a theatre or screening room! Could also be hung by ropes in a large pilot themed nursery or playroom as long as it was securely and professionally completed. As you can see, one would need a rather large room for this breathtaking and unique home decor item.

HISTORIC NOTES

The North American P-51 Mustang was probably the best all-around single-seat piston engine fighter to be used in World War 2. The first U.S.A.A.F. combat group arrived in Britain in November 1943 and from then until the end of the war, the P-51 earned an enviable reputation as a long-range fighter-escort for the B-17 and B-24 bombers raiding deep in the heart of the German homeland. Needless to say, the P-51 Mustang had produced more aces than any other aircraft of the time.

In the last 40 years, surplus Mustangs have been modified and used extensively as civilian air racers, but the latest trend is for private owners to restore them to almost perfect, historically-accurate condition. As public appreciation for the Mustang has grown, the monetary value of the few remaining examples has skyrocketed. War-surplus P-51s, once auctioned from storage for less than (US) $2000, are now usually valued at three-quarters of a million dollars or more. The restoration of existing airframes has become a small industry in the US, UK and Australia, and the total number of flyable examples, despite one or two accidents each year, is growing. Several Mustangs have been or are currently being restored as two-seat, dual-control TF-51s, a trend which promises to ensure that today's operators are better-trained than any previous generation of Mustang pilots.
