Even in modern times, designing and producing a working model of an aircraft in just over three months is an impressive feat, and it was even more so back in the mid-20th century. It took North American Aviation 102 days to deliver the P-51 Mustang's prototype, with the aircraft taking to the skies just a few weeks later!
