During World War II, the American fighter P-51B

The P-51B fighter was one of the main fighter planes of the United States Army Air Forces during World War II, and it made its maiden flight in 1940. The P-51B fighter jet is a model of the American North American company's P-51 Mustang, originally designed by the North American Aircraft Company in 1940 to replace the large number of P-40Ds provided by the United States to Britain as a replacement for the British fighter jet. On October 26 of the same year, the first prototype successfully flew, with the factory code NA-73 and the nickname "Wild Horse". The first batch of "Wild Horse" B was delivered to Britain in August 1941, and the actual combat test results were excellent.
