There is a old old saying; "Man has never built anything more beautiful than a fully rigged ship." I would like to add the P-51 to that. Absolutely Beautiful.
I agree with the ship too though. Doenst defeat the fact that Mustang is beautiful.
No other plane will ever rival its beauty... sooo damn perfect in every aspect...the sound, the lines, the maneuverability... PERFECTION.
I'm British but I still think that for purity of line the P51 is aesthetically the better aircrat
As a kid I had a model of Man O'war, which I decorated and painted myself. I would admire it for hours, imagining what it must be like to fly or even just see a real Mustang. Then one day I was walking casually along, near the airport in Windsor Ont., and I heard that whistle, that clean, mean growl approaching from somewhere behind and above - what was it? Not Man O'war but one of its counterparts, of course. It came roaring over the airfield and pulled up into a graceful barrel roll and sped off out of sight. I was smitten even more than before. I can't hear that sound, without becoming a kid again; and looking up in the hope of catching even just a glimpse! Thanks for sharing this wonderful "fountain of youth." :)
people say the spit is the most gorgeous aircraft of ww2, but to me this holds the title.
NOPE ITS THE MUSTANG.
@carlos Rivas Typical Yanks, the P-51 uses a Merlin under license with the US
I still think the (admittedly inferior) Mitsubishi A6M Zero is prettier. And the Junkers Ju 87 scarier.
Mustang is !!! The $hitfire is the ugly cousin !!!!!!
@@kartoffel4870 RR came BEGGING PACKARD to be an off shore shadow factory and CONTRACTED with PACKARD to build the Merlin FOR THE BRITS and PACKARD delivered 37,137 of them to the Brits in 3 1/2 years, Plus they built 18,000 for the USA and the Mustang of which we GAVE the Brits a couple thousand !!!!
Gotta LOVE the sound of these piston powered fighters.. Particularly at flight speed..
This plane is in a class by itself....we won the war because of it.......to this day, it is one of the finest man made inventions, the sound alone is priceless.........thank you very very much for posting this.
"...we won the war because of it......." Well, kinda. Kinda, sorta. There's no doubt that this and the P-47 were decisive tactical advantages, but strategically it was certainly a cooperative effort. For example: the "sound itself" was not American--it's British, of course. And, of course, our "friends", the Russians, kind of kept our backsides out of trouble by throwing the blossom of their humanity--an entire generation of young people--into the meat grinder so that we could have a stable Western Europe for several future generations.
P-51s have the perfect stance when on the ramp or taxing, couldn't be better.
No better sound than the glorious growl of that supercharged v12 Merlin
P51 the most beautiful plane EVER PRODUCED..
got the chance to fly one years ago,and I will said ,greatest experience I have ever had all my life,,,thanks for the video with no music or commentators talking crap
The Merlin Engine was a very powerful piece of engineering. Glad to hear the noise again.
"The Master Motor Builders" of East Grand Boulevard
Nicely put Willie, he's a real live troll eh?!!
@@PenzancePete You are correct about the noise. In the last four years I've been to air shows that featured a P-51 (Packard Merlin) and two Mark IX Spitfires (Rolls Royce Merlin) and the sound from all three is identical, no matter how much wishful thinking we get from some tedious Washington State revisionist.
I have loved the P-51 Mustang since I was a young boy back in the 1950s, and read about it in WW2 history books. Never learned to fly myself, but have always dreamed of sitting in the cockpit of one of these thoroughbreds of the skies and traversing the clouds. It was on my "bucket list" until I discovered I had heart disease, and would never qualify as a pilot. That doesn't mean i cannot ride as a passenger and still experience the thrill to "...slip the surly bonds of earth, and dance the skies on laughter silvered wings." I would even sign a disclaimer to hold the pilot exempt from any responsibility if I should breathe my last as we touched down after such a flight. I would die a happy man.
The most beautiful plane ever built!!!
"THE" most beautiful aircraft ever built!!!!!
...is the Griffon Spitfire, but the P-51 is very close after it.
Spitfires are beautiful, but not beautiful enough to take the Mustang title. Plus, the Mustang has a slightly higher top speed, much longer range, arguably more maneuverable, and finally, nothing beats the bubble canopy. But I say again, Spitfires are gorgeous.
X-it Dustless Blasting Well, this was about aesthetics, which is entirely subjective, but OK, I'll bite.
You're not 100% correct. The most-produced griffon-powered spitfires were actually faster than the P-51D/K. The top speed of the P-51D was 703 km/h, and the Mk XIVe was 722 km/h. The very fastest variants of the P-51 (the ultra lightweight one that took advice from the Griffon spits' designers at Supermarine and Rolls Royce) were faster than the fastest Spitfires, but they were also very late war and only a couple of hundred were produced. Later racing-model P-51s used the Griffon engine in them. Between the majority-production fighters in the air in 1944, Griffon spits were actually faster. They also had a MUCH better climb rate and were considerably more manoeuvrable, and had a higher service ceiling, lower wing loading and a better roll rate.
Griffon spits had either 2 Mk II Hispano 20mm cannons and 2 Browning .50 cals, or 4 Mk V Hispanos, capable of firing high explosive shells and/or AP incendiaries.
The P-51 was better at the role it was designed for, which was as a bomber escort and tank buster, because it had a much longer range, and could carry more bomb load in practice, since the spits would often have to carry a drop tank to even get to battle on long range ground strike missions. The P-51 was still a top-tier fighter, but in pure fighter v fighter instances, the Spitfire was more dangerous.
Also, the Griffon spits after the earlier Mk. XIVs had a bubble canopy based on the P-51s.
Oh, and here's a quote from William Dunn: US fighter ace, who flew numerous types of allied fighters:
"I have been asked, numerous times, which fighter aircraft I thought was the war's best. It's impossible to positively say which was best without taking into consideration the type of mission being flown. If we are speaking of air-to-air combat, I say the Spitfire is my choice- it was fast, high manoeuvrable, a good gun platform, and without any bad habits in flight. For dive-bombing and close air support operations, I take the P-47 Thunderbolt. She could cary a mixed load of munitions for all sorts fo targets, she could survive in a heavy flak environment, and she'd generally get you safely home if you were shot up. For long-range bomber escort missions, the P-51 Mustang would be my selection. She could fly for up to eight hours and fight off attacking enemy fighters in the distant target areas.
Each aircraft I've mentioned was perfectly suited for its primary mission. Now, if I had to make the choice of one fighter aircraft above all the others - one that I'd rather have tied to the seat of my pants in any tactical situation - it would be, without any doubt, the world's greatest propeller-driven flying machine - the magnificent and immortal Spitfire."
merlin sounds best on a mustang..
Well, the World War 2 had many, many, many sexies aircraft, the BF 109, the Curtiss P-40 Grumman F4F Wildcat, P-38 Lightning, De Havilland Mosquito, well and the list can continue and continue. But personally, The P51 is one of the most beautiful aircrafts ever made.
I'm not capable of finding exactly words...
But I can say "She is the unlimited legend".
Younger folks think the scream of jets = the sound of freedom. I'll take the rumble of a piston engine any day and my all time FAVE is the Merlin in the Mustang! Thank you North American and Rolls Royce for the real sounds of freedom!
The title says "no music". But all i hear is music :)
sonor1993 best music ever played :) 2nd place is the GAU 8 Avenger on the A-10 Warthog
no music but it have sound
Right you are! That Merlin makes it's own music. :)
Absolutely, mechanical music
"no music" ? this engine is the real music!
+PowderedMonkey I was just about to say that!
PowderMonk those Merlin’s can really sing!
Yes thanks the german designer and Rolls Royce !
Spitfire42 do you mean British ?
The prettiest bird ever built.
This was the peak of piston powered aircraft..cleanest slickest aerodynamic, most efficient piston powered airframe out there beautiful airplane...
Those fly-byes.... Hnnnng. That sound..... Not to glorify war but a squadron of those making low pass back in the day? A sight and sound to behold for sure.
Fantastic sound! Thanks for not turning this into a music video. So many clueless people do unfortunately.
P51D greatest and sexiest bad ass plane ever conceived. Thanks for sharing this..Blue skies and fare trade winds to you Sir. Happy flying:}!
I thought you said no music I hear beautiful music, and I love that sound
Who needs music with a soundtrack like this 😎
Without the mechanics and engineers none of this would have been possible. Nothing like the sound of a Merlin.
Music, playing in the key of FREEDOM!!!
Greatest fighter ever made. And what sweet music it makes!
The most beautiful and great sounding aircraft ever built by mankind. Truly, a classic. Wonderful video
Its not the gun ports that make the whistle sounds. Its called the Bernoulli effect, the whistle comes from the ram air pushing through the radiator when the belly vent is opened to a certain position. The Spitfires can also whistle at certain attitudes.
It doesn't get any better than this!!! I'm getting hard hearing that turbo whistle!
The whistle is not the "turbo" (supercharger), it's caused by the inboard gun blast tube in each wing at high AoA.
Thats right. You dont poison the beautiful sound of a Merlin Engine with filthy music. Great!
The engine noise itself is sweet music to my ears.
the pinnacle of piston powered aircraft
In my opinion that has got to be the coolest prop driven plane there is.
Thank you for showing us this beautiful airplane sir.
Only a pleasure! Thanks for watching.
I had the privilege in seeing a p51 being restored for Jack Roush back in the early 2000's. One hell of a plane.
Sour, I know about the engine shops. I believe he also designed a roller can version of the engine that is much smoother running and has better performance. Clowns in nascar bash the guy, but in reality he is more dedicated to America and the belief of buying American!
What a work of art. I understand the P51- the "D" is my favorite could top out at over 500 mph. That is tremendous for a prop driven plane. I wish I was a young man after the ww2 and went around collecting these planes and parts. I hear to buy one of the few left that run starts at a cool million. The P51 was the best , coolest plane ever. 5 star video.
Mustang level flight P51 D/K was 440 MPH, they could approach 600 in a dive but it was hard to pull them out. Compressability on the controls,
@@wilburfinnigan2142 No problem, i want to order 3. Great works of flying Art.
love the sound of that power
What a plane!
+Africa Travel Channel what a engine
Both
Can I use this audio for a video project in high school? I will credit and will not sell or distribute. Thanks for the reply -Zach
What an engine
bardzo mi się podoba ten samolot
Thank you for sharing this. This is my favorite airplane. She's in beautiful condition...wow!
No music. Bless your heart!! I get sick of great videos being ruined by video game soundtrack music. Thank you. :)
Nothing beats the Doppler effect of a V12 Merlin engine . . . .easily the most musical sound or the most blood curdling
absolutely beautiful to look at and listen to. Add to that LETHAL. Greatest war machine ever .
It's the Air Intake on bottom of fuselage that makes the whistling sound...NOT the gun ports.
Sweet.
No go to 1:54 and now picture that with 50 caliber guns blazing straight at you. Had that thought at air show many years ago, stood my hair up.
What a sexy noise that beast makes.
I think sometimes we forget how important the merlin engine was in giving the Allied forces the edge.
for the meantime, forget the raptor, super hornet and the lightning. i salute the mustang. thanks for that video sir!!!
I saw a Lancaster bomber in 1989 and it had 4 of these engines! THAT was f%78ing cool! But the mustangs sound soo much better!!
Great video!!!
Thanks for not spoiling it with
"elevator music".!!!
THAT'S the best
"music" you put in the video.!!!
Love the sound of the R.R./Packard
"Merlin" engine.!!!
Kudos to you for that great video.
One of the best-looking planes from all times IMO, completely harmonic design.
The sound of the Mustang Merlin engine is music enough.
Oooh! the sound of Wilbur slagging off the Rolls Royce design, built under licence by Packard, but yet it is still a Merlin, DUH!!!!!
I often wonder what it must have been like to be about 19-22 years of age and having to fly one of these fine gems for a living! I know it was a very dangerous business to be in, but what a great tool to have on hand! The P-51 and British Spitfires are nothing short of poetry in motion, let alone very beautiful in form and function. There isn't much out there that can stir the heart strings quite like the sound of the Merlin engine at full song. WOW!!!!!
An enemy fighter on your tail shooting at you will get the adrenilen flowing faster ! ! !
Was there any heat at 35,000 feet where they were doing their lethal business? My toes would have frozen.
The amazing sound Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 in a P-51D no other can replicate it.
+kell490 r.r merlin V12 in a super marine spitfire,.......check mate.
+hyronomus bosch The sound of two of them in a de Havilland Mosquito.......check mate again.
+SuperEdge67 Touche mon ami
Try four Merlins on the Lancaster.....pure symphony at its finest. P-51, Cadillac of the Skies!
soaringtractor _____Fuck off Wilbur.
Propeller / Body ratio says it all. All that V12 torque. Yeeeeah
Great video, brings back memories of watching the Wisconsin Air National Guard in Milwaukee flying this aircraft before they transitioned to the F-89 Scorpion.
Sounded like music to me. Music to my ears. Still the greatest plane ever built.
That engine sounded just as cool as in the old hydroplanes. Beautiful machine. And THANKS for NO music. I want to hear the engine, not the sound of someones choice in music.
I’m a Brit and love the spit and Lanc but that is simply a stunning aircraft. You make great aircraft America ( including the PA28 which I fly).
just showd this video to my 8 days old son, haha he looks like christmas morning^^
I love planes like the P-51D
What a beauty! Music? This has it, bigtime.
The bubble-canopied Mustang is the most beautiful aircraft that ever existed. Though the elegant Spitfire is a close second.
Beautiful American machine with a brilliant British engine.
A rolls royce engine built under license by packard. Get your facts right.
And I believe the hostility is a little uncalled for. Don't they teach you manners in the states?
P51 with Allison engine = NIGHTMARE
18tangles...GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE ! ! ! Hell I missed the daily dose of British Bullshit, but I see you are back and samo samo....Do you actually believe that Packard Just built as received the merlin engine??? If you do I got some water front property I will sell you really really cheap out in the middle of your out back ! ! ! Anybody that has looked into the Packard Merlin agree it was changed except you and your buddy 1chish that lives in that little shithole island of England.. He doesn't even recognize that the Packard built Merlin went into british built planes...eventhough if you go to the RR site its there. You two ought to get together and exchange lies and bragg to one another, after all he is "Family" His family probably sent your family to the prison island in the south pacific... Go dig into your books deeper and get the real truth and not the British BULLSHIT you are spreading...have a nice day and keep them fucking "Roos out of your back yard.....
typo "The more power you pull from an engine the SHORTER it will last....oops
The most awesome sounding airplane!
that sound is like a Beethoven melody,classic but powerful,it is the sound of freedom ,that rolls Royce Merlin engine whistling through the sky ,is a symbol,of liberty freedom and how much our dying warriors of yesterday sacrifice themselves to have what you and I have today
silverGTO TwinTurbo He really didn't say anything obnoxious about the British, but simply saying it was all American made, despite the engine being based off of a royal built engine. I've seen you on a few other comments, and I have no intentions of being rude, although I think you may need to tone it down a notch.
Love the car by the way! ^^ 👌
Edit: Some one has some taste!
Michael, Michael, thanks for the nice comments about my car, tis truly a cracking car, rebuilt from the ground up and I adore it. However, asking me to tone down my comments regarding what Wilbur has put, sorry soaringtractor, this person is a vindictive old man who really has a hatred of anything British. If you have seen the drivel this man has been posting for the past five years you would understand. Once again, thanks for the thumbs up for my car.
silverGTO TwinTurbo Well since you put it that way I understand then. I can agree that it may be possible that he might've encounter you on TH-cam at some point, so in that case I will not interfere no longer. For I may encounter situation such as yours at some point in time.
And regarding to my compliment as an enthusiast myself I just couldn't help it! So you're welcome! ^^
In any case I apologize for coming to conclusions so quickly....
I may have also been a bit rude coming off there at first so my bad. ;P
Epic sound! Thanks for keeping the video pure with no music.
If the sound of a Mustang doing a low pass does not result in loving the aircraft aviation is not for you, The sound inside of thee aircraft is very different and unbelievably loud. What a fantastic machine than emerged 40 years after the Wright brothers fly at Kitty Hawk.
I too have wondered at the rapid, concurrent advance of industrial and aviation technologies during that interwar period and how it would be possible to create such unique and perfect products in the span of half a person's lifetime. Ç'est Magnifique!!
Favorite plane ever. Wish I had one.
Best symphony I've ever heard
Makes my eyes water. Thank you.
That's music to my ears.
The sound is Magnificent
When the plane comes into and back out of a dive, the increased speed and angle makes the gun ports whistle, much like blowing air over the opening of a bottle.
I like how the camera rendered a natural blur on the prop, and the last pass at 4:04 was so cool.
ahh finally, some music to fall asleep to.
An amazing aircraft. One of the fastest prop planes ever built for its time.
P-51, Cadillac of the sky!
When fat man Hermon Goering looked up one day in Berlin to see these Superbly designed and performing P-51s flying around with the B-17 bombers, he new Germany's insidious war gig was on borrowed time.
hard fighting soldiers then thundering sound of a p51 mustang making a pass. wow
That is an awesome plane,thank you for posting.
Thank you for some fantastic music! Great video!
The sound of FREEDOM.
The BEST overall plane of WWII. British/American got it done! It's so damn pretty!
Alex Moore Its American not British
British engine and last time I checked the engine is an important part of a plane.
The engine was the Packard V-1650 produced by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit,Michigan. U.S.A.
@@chuck6187 - That engine is a 100% British design, licenced for piece-by-piece EXACT replication in the U S. by Packard. The British also were who the P-51 was originally developed for, originally with the Allison V-1710 V-12, a much more reliable, but somewhat less powerful engine (mainly at higher altitudes). Since the Merlin was already equipped with a two-stage two-speed supercharger, it didn't make sense to spend time developing a whole new induction system for the Allison. Both engines served well in their respective aircraft throughout the war. Some Merlibs have even been fitted with the much stronger connecting rods from the Allison...
I can feel the sound in my bones
What a glorious sound!!
Love the 'no music' - Who needs it?
@2:02 OMG. What a sound.
What an aircraft, thank you for uploading
Wspaniała maszyna -przyjemność oglądania w locie jestem pod wrażeniem !
Całkowicie się z Tobą zgadzam!
The only way this could have been any better is if I was in the back seat! Awesome machine!
Fantastic, if you love de aviation and you are a pilot for me it´s the best experience fly a mustang P51, the best airplane
almost wish we still had these lol
best sounds EVER !!!
Cadillac of the Skies
Perfect sky for this video!!
Awesome! Love this airplane.
Featherweight champion of the sky
in my opinion,
it is the most beautiful aircraft in the world
Music to my ears...i could listen to this 24/7....wish we had smellovison for a whiff of that Fuel mmmmmm
