the P-51D " HEAVY " MUSTANG
It's amazing at the questions I get on an everyday basis. I've been asked about the P-51D MUSTANG " Heavy " variant. After doing some research and Ednaling , I FOUND IT ! !
This is a bomber version of the famous fighter plane. During World War II , Hitler demanded , the ME-262 fighter jet , be converted into a bomber. The allies , upon learning this , became concerned and developed their own version , of a fighter gone bomber.
Because of the additional weight , the bomb load brings to the aircraft , the power plant was given a necessary power boost , by adding an upscale fuel system , using downdraft duel fuel carburetors utilizing double weight floats and spring assisted venturi , that are inbred and fed by oversize magnum fuel pumps.
