I’m excited to buy a copy for my son. His first love at age 5 was the P-51 Mustang. By 2nd grade he had devoured every book his school and the public library had on WWII aircraft. (I was cautioned at the public library that I was responsible for the expensive cocktail table books I checked out.)

At age 7 he could describe each WWII aircraft in great detail, Allied and Axis, including crew, flight range, wingspan, armament, ammunition payload, and anything else you cared to ask. This focus continued for several years, finally being supplanted by Battletech in middle school.
The whole history of the Mustang is told here, including the real story of how it was created (as Edgar Schmued told a group of us at a seminar on the airplane back in 1981, "Yes, it was built in 100 days, but I had been designing it over the previous five years."). A whole lot of myths get punctured.
