9. P-51 Mustang – U.S.A.
The P-51 Mustang is considered a classic in North America. It was intended for the British as a medium-altitude fighter plane during WWII. On the other hand, it surpasses all expectations. It was able to reach higher heights and generate more power after the Rolls Royce Merlin and then the Packard V-1650-7 engines were fitted. This aircraft played a crucial role in reconnaissance missions and accompanied a large number of bombers throughout numerous engagements because of its long-range capability. The top speed of the P-51 Mustang is 430 mph.
