Mustang Designer Edgar Schmued and the Development of the P-51


Free Download Ray Wagner – Mustang Designer: Edgar Schmued and the Development of the P-51
Orion Books | 1990 | ISBN: 0517567938 | English | 264 pages | PDF | 227.37 MB
This is an excellent book, and serves as both a biography about Edgar Schmued and a history of the engineering work behind the P-51 and several other aircraft. Schmued led the design team that created the P-51. It does not cover all of the details behind the development of the P-51, leaving out the politics of how the USAAF finally adopted this half British aircraft. The best part of this book is that it is possible to see how closely the North American engineers worked with the test pilots and field reports; it was this tightly coupled engineering culture which responded quickly to every input, every flaw, that enabled the P-51 Mustang to reach perfection first and beat out its rivals.
