This is the P-51 Mustang. It was a very fast fighter airplane during World War 2. The engine is really big. It has 12 cylinders that run on special gasoline made for airplanes. The Mustang in the picture is different from other Mustangs because it has a special "cockpit" that isn't like other airplanes. Go to this website to find out more about P-51 Mustangs:
