From The Critics
The debut volume in the new Speciality Press "Raceplane Tech" series, Griffon-Powered Mustangs is a fascinating history of the P-51 Mustang, a once very effective World War II era military aircraft that continues to be a popular crowd pleaser with air racing enthusiasts. These Griffon-powered racers are the peak of liquid-cooled racing technology with the Mustang purpose-built fuselage coupled with the Griffon bringing out the maximum in horsepower with the smallest frontal area of any racing aircraft. A "must" for aviation buffs, Kevin Grantham and Nicholas Veronico's Griffon-Powered Mustangs presents the reader with a profusion of illustrations and photos covering every aspect of the aircraft, a world jet racing history, the griffon engine development, "Unlimited Class Racing Results", and more!Book Details
