One of the most glorious World War II fighter planes was the North American P-51 Mustang. Marvelous airplane! They even went up against MIGs during the Korean "police action" and held their own, if not through speed, through maneuverability. After World War II, North American, using the basic design of the Mustang, but expanded the dimensions a bit came up with the four-passenger Navion. If you wanted greater cruising range, you could equip them with wing-tip tanks just like the military version. And the Air Force even bought a batch of the civilian versions (here).
