The P-51 Mustang was able to outperform any German fighter plane in its way. The P-51 Mustang had endurance that no other plane had at this time and it was new advancement. In an autobiography called Samurai it said, "Our Army pilots in Burma reported encountering another new enemy plane, the P-51 Mustang, which outperformed the Zero on an even greater range... The Army pilots flying the Hayabusa were out-flown and our-fought consistently by the sleek American Plane."
