The North American P-51 Mustang was one of the most legendary fighters of World War II, renowned for its speed, range, and versatility. Introduced in 1942, it excelled as a bomber escort, protecting Allied heavy bombers deep into enemy territory. Powered by the Packard-built Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, the Mustang could reach speeds over 440 mph (708 km/h) and altitudes of 41,900 feet (12,800 metres), giving it unmatched performance in combat. Its role was pivotal in securing air superiority over Europe, particularly during long-range missions over Germany.

Why are the stripes vertical?
Great question - and you're absolutely right that the U.S. flag is usually displayed with horizontal stripes. But in this design, we’ve reimagined the flag as an artistic tribute rather than a literal representation. We chose to depict the flag as if it were hanging vertically from above, similar to how it might appear draped at a hangar entrance or suspended during a ceremony.  This vertical orientation allows the iconic silhouette of the aircraft to really shine -with the red and white stripes running the length of the fuselage, it creates a bold, centred look while still honouring the flag’s spirit and symbolism.

Flex fit , embroidered lettering and good shipping time. That's all you need from a hat and I Love Hangar delivered!
