Another view of the North American P-51 Mustang climbing out over the grass runway during the June 7, 2014 airshow, its bare-metal skin catching the light as the four-blade propeller bites into the air. The Mustang's combination of speed, range, and agility made it the most effective American escort fighter of World War II, capable of protecting heavy bombers all the way to their targets over Germany and back.
