The P-51 Mustang had laminar- flow wing, ergonomic radiator position and Merlin engine capable of 1,500hp and attained fame as the greatest fighter aircraft of WWII. The P-51D featuring water-drop shape canopy was developed in May 1944 and showed its strength to protect the B-17s. The U.S. 4x4 Light Vehicle facilitated great performance by rigid, lightweight structure, and reliable engine, and over 600,000 were produced during WWII.
