Auto Credit Based on Viper28's P-51 D Mustang
The P-59A was a project started in 1944 based on the P-51 mustang. The single jet boosted craft was capable of very high speeds for the time, but at the cost of controllability. The project was scrapped because the war had come to a close and full jet powered craft were now the future for the US.
