P-51C MUSTANG Mk.III

P-51C MUSTANG Mk.III P51C MUSTANG Mk.III

Der Jungfernflug des Prototyps der North American P-51

Mustang fand am 26. Oktober 1940 in Antwort auf eine briti-

sche Anfrage nach einem für die europäischen

Kriegsschauplätze geeigneten Jagdflugzeug statt. Die ersten

Mustang Mk.I trafen im November 1941 in England ein. Frühe

Kampferfahrungen zeigten eingeschränkte Geschwindigkeits-

und Höhenleistungen des ursprünglichen amerikanischen

Allison-Motors. Mustangs, die mit dem Rolls-Royce Merlin 61-

Motor ausgerüstet wurden, der von Packard in den USA auf

Lizenz als V-1650 hergestellt wurde, trugen bei der USAAF die

Bezeichnung P-51B/C und waren bei der Royal Air Force als

Mustang Mk.III bekannt. Die erste Version der Mustang mit

Merlin-Motor nahm ihren Dienst im Februar 1944 in der 19.

Staffel auf und flog in insgesamt 19 RAF-Staffeln als

Langstrecken-Begleitjäger bei Bombereinsätzen. Zahlreiche

Flugzeuge wurden durch die nach ihrem Erfinder Malcolm

benannte und nach hinten verschiebbare Plexiglashaube

anstelle der ursprünglichen, stark verstrebten

Kabinenverglasung nachgerüstet, wodurch der Pilot eine her-

vorragende Rundumsicht erhielt. Die Mustang Mk.III war

bewaffnet mit vier 12,7 mm Browning-Maschinengewehren in

den Tragflächen und konnte außerdem zwei 225 kg-Bomben

anstelle der an den Tragflächen angebrachten Abwurftanks

tragen. Insgesamt wurden über 15.500 P-51 produziert, davon

entfielen 3.738 auf die P-51B/C-Version, davon wiederum 910

auf die RAF Mustang III. Die Mustang Mk.III wurde angetrieben

von einem 1.520 PS starken V-1650 (Merlin 61). Sie erreichte

eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 711 km/h. Die Flugreichweite

betrug 1.529 km, die maximale Flughöhe lag bei 12.950 m.

Flügelspannweite: 11,29 m. Länge: 9,83 m. Höhe: 4,17 m

The prototype of the North American P-51 Mustang first flew

on 26 October 1940 in response to a British request for a fight-

er suitable for use in the European theatre. The first Mustang

Mk.I’s arrived in England in November 1941 and early combat

experience showed the speed and altitude limitations of the

original American designed Allison engine. Mustangs powered

by the Rolls-Royce Merlin 61, built by Packard in the United

States as the V-1650, were designated P-51B/C by the USAAF

and known as the Mustang Mk.III by the Royal Air Force.

Entering service with No.19 Squadron in February 1944 the first

version of the Merlin powered Mustang flew with a total of

nineteen RAF squadrons on long range escort and fighter-

bomber missions. Many aircraft were modified with the blown

Perspex rear sliding “Malcolm Hood” in place of the original

heavily framed hinged canopy giving outstanding all round vis-

ibility for the pilot. The Mustang Mk.III was armed with four

12.7 mm (0.5 in.) Browning machine guns in the wings and

could also carry two 225kg (500 lb) bombs in place of the wing

mounted drop tanks. Total P-51 production was over 15,500 of

which the P-51B/C version totalled 3,738 aircraft, 910 of these

being RAF Mustang IIIs. The Mustang Mk.III was powered by a

1520hp V-1650 (Merlin 61) giving a maximum speed of

711km/h (442mph) and an operational radius of 1529km (950

miles). Maximum altitude was 12,950m (42,500ft.) Wing span:

11.29m (37ft 1in.) Length: 9.83m (32ft 3in.) Height 4.17m (13ft

8in.)
