Taken at Duxford RAF and USAAC Museum in England.
Two of the greatest WWII fighter planes of their era....the American P51 Mustang and the British Supermarine Spitfire.
Both planes were powered by the powerful Rolls Royce Merlin engine......which emitted that wonderful sound that became known to many as 'The Sound of Freedom' during the 1940s.
RR Merlin engine - V12- 27 litres (1650 cu in)
The P-51 pilot does a great job staying in his position as he has more power and is faster than the spitfire. The P51 was powered by the Packard V-1650 version of the Merlin that was manufactured in the USA.
They must have done more than a little practicing!!
