great book about the development of the P-51 mustang

This was an excellent book which described the achievements and events of Edgar Schmeud, the principle designer of the P-51 Muatang. It also gives an in depth history of the accelerated development of the mustang during WWII. The book contains many rare photo's of early mustangs, the manufacturing plants, and the other people involved in the development of the plane.
