Although many "buffs" will buy it for the photos alone, this is not just another book about airplanes. To borrow Walter Vincenti's memorable phrase, it's about "what engineers know and how they know it.— Summer 1991

Mustang Designer: Edgar Schmued and the P-51
Best 2/3 of a book I have read in a long long time. I say best 2/3 of a book because the first 2/3 of the book leads up to the design and through the evolution of the P-51 Mustang - the airplane that won the air war in Europe. If you are a WWII aviation buff, this is a must read.
I would recommend having a smart phone, tablet or computer handy to get quick information on the myriad other aircraft that are discussed.
