Text from an advertisement in the November 1945 issue of Flying magazine. In continuous production from Pearl Harbor to V-J! North American Aviation is the only manufacturer to have three different types of military aircraft of its own design in continuous quantity production from Pearl Harbor to V-J. Constant research has kept these planes superior to enemy types... and with the courage and skill of the men who fly them, American air power is now second to none. Let's keep it so for future peace. The P-51 Mustang... first US fighter to make Channel sweeps against Germans. It set escort-fighter records over Berlin... was the first land-based fighter to shoot up Tokyo. The P-51's long-range was termed "decisive" by USAAF spokesmen. The B-25 (and PBJ) Mitchell... medium bomber... first plane to bomb Tokyo... the first to pack a 75mm cannon. Speed, bomb load and terrific fire power featured its success on every front. The AT-6 (and SNJ) Texan... combat-trainer... trained pilots of 35 allied nations. Thousands have gone into service to help pin silver and gold wings on the American flyers to whom much of the world owes its liberation. During nearly four years of war North American Aviation has built: 14.9% of all US fighters 11.2% of all US bombers 25.9% of all US trainers 13.8% of all US planes North American Aviation Sets the Pace General Offices: Inglewood, California, USA
