The
North American Aviation P-51 Mustang
is an American long-range, single-seat
fighter
and
fighter-bomber
used during
World War II
and the
Korean War
, among other conflicts. The Mustang was designed in April 1940 by a design team headed by James Kindelberger
of
North American Aviation
(NAA) in response to a requirement of the
British Purchasing Commission
. The Purchasing Commission approached North American Aviation to build
Curtiss P-40 fighters
under license for the
Royal Air Force
(RAF). Rather than build an old design from another company, North American Aviation proposed the design and production of a more modern fighter. The prototype NA-73X
airframe
was rolled out on 9 September 1940, 102 days after the contract was signed, and first flew on 26 October
