“A comprehensive look at the 272-plane F-82 fleet . . . This is a fine addition to Carey’s body of work and to anyone’s aviation library.”—HistoryNet One of the most unusual and remarkable American fighter aircraft, the F-82 Twin Mustang was the last mass production propeller-driven fighter acquired by the U.S. Air Force. Originally intended as a very long-range fighter escort for the Boeing B-29 Superfortress during World War II, it arrived too late to see combat and evolved into a night and all-weather fighter during the post-war years. Combat operations in the Korean War followed, along with a host of other dynamic episodes of deployment. This work traces the developmental, operational, and combat history of this unique American fighter and features 120 photographs and illustrations, many of which have never been published before. Seven chapters, all extensively illustrated, cover the aircraft’s development, descriptions of the variants and sub-types, details of initial entry into service, three chapters covering the F-82’s service in the Korean War, and a final chapter detailing the type’s removal from the Korean War Theatre in February 1952, to see out its operational days in the Alaskan Air Defense Command. “If you’re an historian like me, you’ll love this book. It lists every F-82 to serve in Korea, every crewman lost in combat, every squadron which used them, and all the pertinent tech details about each version. Photos illustrate the planes from nearly every squadron (if not all) and captions offer in-depth information not included in the text—so they really add value.”—My Hobby Info

The F-82 ¿Twin Mustang¿ was conceived during WWII as a long-range fighter escort. Like the P-51, it was designed by North American's brilliant engineer, Edgar Schmued. The F-82 utilized two extended P-51 fuselages, mounted to a newly- designed center wing and tail. The plane incorporated new propeller assemblies and a unique, four-wheel landing gear. In short, while the plane would be cosmetically similar to the Mustang, in reality it was an entirely new beast. The F-82 wasn¿t ready before WWII ended, but the program escaped cancellation, and planes entered operational service in 1948. The F-82 became the last piston- powered fighter ordered by the USAF. It flew as an escort for SAC B-29s, and with distinction as a night fighter in Korea. It was retired in 1953. Originally printed by the USAF and North American, this pilot¿s handbook provides a glimpse inside the cockpit of this warbird. Originally classified ¿Restricted¿, the manual was de-classified and is here reprinted in book form.

"Sired by the English out of an American mother, the Mustang has had no parent in the Army Air Corps or at Wright field to appreciate and push its good points," as Major Thomas Hitchcock, then Assistant Military Air Attaché in London, wrote on 8 October 1942. But the British contribution to the Mustang goes beyond providing the Merlin engine that turned the P-51 into the key escort fighter for the B-17s and B-24s over Germany. As per René J Francillon usual hallmarks, this aircraft's history is placed in the context of the international relations and tensions that led to its conception, and of its first customer, the Royal Air Force, operations during World War II, from the low level reconnaissance missions over Fortress Europe to the higher performance of Mustang IIIs and IVs that challenged the Luftwaffe in its lair. This first Volume (covering E-books vol. I+II) of the two-part Mustang history contains more than 390 photographs over its 195 high-quality glossy paper pages and adresses: 1) the development of all the Mustang and Twin Mustang versions including the wartime two-seaters, the post-war revivals for counterinsurgency operations; 2) the operations during World War II of RAF and Commonwealth air forces units; 3) the listing for each country (twenty eight air forces, excluding the RAF and the USAAF/USAF), that have had the P-51 in their inventory, in various quantities; 4) a technical description of the P-51D, the performances of all versions; 5) a four-view plan of the Malcom-hooded P-51B/C are provided, along with the list of all production batches, manufacturer contracts and air force serials. A separate second Volume (covering E-books III+IV) covers the US government operations (USAAF/USAF and NACA/NASA), Korean War operations of all countries involved, as well as the civilian racers and warbirds.

All the US forces use of the P-51 Mustang and its stable mate, the P-82 Twin Mustang, are detailed throughout the various theater of operations with the quality coverage one can expect from Rene J Francillon. Mustang and derivatives successes and failures in US Cleveland to Reno air races, as well as a selection of warbirds, ensure that this second and last volume of the history of these remarkable aircraft absolutely comprehensive, containing over 300 photographs, more than 140 of them in color, and with unit tables and operating locations of each and every unit for wartime in World War II and Korea (including South African and Australian air force operations) as well as peacetime in the Air National Guard and US Air Force. North American Aviation created the P-51 Mustang out of a British requirement for a fighter that could hold its own against the Luftwaffe. René Francillon, after having detailed the Mustang's infancy then service with both RAF and foreign air forces, covers in this second and final volume (spanning ebooks III & IV) the P-51 and P-82 operational service with all the US service branches and administrations. Though the Mustang became one of the few World War II legendary fighters, it started its operational service more inconspicuously. Indeed Sired by the English out of an American mother, the Mustang has had no parent in the Army Air Corps or at Wright field to appreciate and push its good points, as Major Thomas Hitchcock, then Assistant Military Air Attaché in London, wrote on 8 October 1942. Willy-nilly, the United States Army Air Force used its Allison-powered Mustang at low altitude where this engine performed the best. Thus the first US variants of the Mustang, the P-51-2s and A-36s, equipped tactical reconnaissance/fighter-bomber and dive-bombing squadrons in the Mediterranean theater of operations. Having a lesser drag compared to other allied fighter, thanks to its supercritical wing and engine cooling system, the Mustang made a quantum leap in performance with the switch to the Rolls Royce Merlin engine. Medium and high altitudes were now where it excelled. The increased fuel capacity made it ideally suited to escort the heavies of the Mighty Eighth over Germany during the critical bombing campaign prior to D-Day in Normandy. From then on, the ''Little Friends'' would forever reside in our collective memory for their deeds over Europe. On the other side of the globe, the China-India-Burma theater of operations also required long-legged fighters. After relinquishing its shark-mouthed P-40s upon creation of the 14th Air Force, the Flying Tigers, and the mixed Chinese American Composite Wing, flew P-51Bs and Cs successfully against their nimble Japanese opponents. Attacking the Empire of the Sun was no mean feat for the B-29s crews of the the far flung bomber shore bases of Guam or Saipan. The Mustang rose to the challenge of astounding 14-hour long escort missions, over water most of the time, from Iwo Jima. Unfortunately, peace did not last long as war in Korea started in 1953, the Twin Mustang rising to the challenge of long range operation from Japan. Once again Mustang were called to the rescue of the UN forces and this time, being no match to the fighter jets used by both sides, they excelled in the tactical reconnaissance and ground support roles. Old soldiers never die, they only fade away and Mustangs were no exception. NACA/NASA and racers presented an opportunity for these legendary aircraft to further aviation technology. Warbirds all over the world ensure that they will not be forgotten, the magic Merlin engine sound still echoing today in multiple air shows.

This book covers the P/F-51 Mustang and each of its many variants and spin-offs including the A-36 Apache, F-6 Photo Mustang, F-82 Twin Mustang and others. It discusses the Mustangs used by all US allies and friends in many foreign air forces. Also, it adds to the story of its creation through the wise choices made by the British government and its Royal Air Force, especially the transition from its original Alison V-12 to the wizard-like Rolls-Royce V-12 called the Merlin. The book will be profusely illustrated with high quality mono and colour images, many of which have not been published before, and features beautifully drawn profiles and numerous appendices. It also features numerous first-hand accounts of the Mustang in battle during World War 2, the Korean War and other conflicts.
