The P-51 Mustang had a range of 1650 miles.....England to Berlin and Back
Spitfire enthusiasts might remember.
Absolutely. Once the American engine had been pulled out and the British Merlin engine fitted it became an excellent fighter. Before then it was relegated to recce missions because of its extremely poor performance.
