The Mustang was born from a British WW2 specification to North American during 1940. The prototype was completed within 117 days but the RAF was not happy with the aircraft's performance and suggested replacing the V-12 Allison with the more powerful RR Merlin. The result was a superbly fast and maneuverable aircraft that had the range to escort Allied bomber forces on raids deep into occupied Europe. A total of 15,469 of the type were built and used in combat until the Korean War.

An engaging history covering a century of conflict on the Korean Peninsula. Korea at War recounts how two separate nations emerged on the Korean peninsula as the result of devastating conflicts involving provocative personalities and superpower intrigues. The topics covered in this fascinating book include: The brutal years of Japanese colonial rule which began with Japan's annexation of Korea and ended with its defeat in World War II–and which still dominate Japanese-Korean relations today; The division of the country into a totalitarian North and a prosperous, democratic South; North Korea's invasion of the South, motivated by Stalin, which led to the bloody Korean War–a conflict that is still not settled to this day; The irascible General Douglas MacArthur, who was relieved of his command by President Truman when he disobeyed a direct order and attempted to expand the war into China; The rise of the Kim regime in North Korea and the continuing threat of nuclear war today.
