Lufftwaffe Beware!

Continuing the aviation theme, this advert appeared in Look magazine, 25 August 1944, one of a number in this publication to promote US industry in wartime guise. The P-51 Mustang had been in combat since 1942, their success seeing them in use with the USAF until the mid-1950s, and elsewhere until the 1980s. Of over 15,000 built, some 200 remain airworthy in the USA today.
