Description & History

The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang is an American long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber used during World War II and the Korean War, among other conflicts. The Mustang was designed in April 1940 by a team headed by James H. Kindelberger of North American Aviation (NAA) in response to a requirement of the British Purchasing Commission. The commission approached NAA to build Curtiss P-40 fighters under license for the Royal Air Force (RAF). Rather than build an old design from another company, NAA proposed the design and production of a more modern fighter. The prototype NA-73X airframe was rolled out on 9 September 1940, 102 days after the contract was signed, and first flew on 26 October.

AN/APS-13 Tail Warning Radar

This building has a warning radar for the rear hemisphere, which operates from -30 to +30 degrees horizontally, and from -90 to +90 degrees vertically (in reality only from -45 to +45 degrees, but in the realities of this game I think , that it will be better), as well as up to 1.5 km (in reality, up to 800 yards, different for the same reason).
