P-51B GROUND ATTACK TRAINING The P-51 was frequently used in the fighter/bomber role because of its ability to carry 2,000 lbs. of bombs. The agile Mustang was a fighter pilot's dream because of its great handling characteristics, a very important factor during low altitude flight. One of the P-51's only weaknesses was its susceptibility to engine damage due to the Merlin's liquid cooling system. YOUR MISSION Your P-51B starts only a few thousand feet above the Duisberg oil refinery. Arm your bombs, and then drop them on the refinery (low level bombing recommended). Then engage the two Bf 109s which are approaching. Your P-51B has unlimited ammunition, including bombs.
