J26 David is an interned and purchased American P-51B-7 Mustang fighter aircraft in service with the Swedish air forces. Meet the main aviation prize available for every War Thunder player!
J26 David, fighter, Sweden, rank III. Premium.
Features:
- Good performance at low and mid altitudes
- High G-tolerance
- Mediocre forward weapons
- Bombs
Allied aircraft often made emergency landings on Swedish airfields during World War II. Two of these aircraft, the American P-51B-7 Mustangs, were interned and then purchased from the US government for $25,000 each. In July 1945, the Mustangs entered service with the Swedish Air Force, where they received the designation J26.
The Swedish Premium Mustang J26 with own name “David” will be the main aviation prize of the new season of the War Thunder Battle Pass “Her Majesty's Hussar”, and all players who complete the required number of stages and progress points will be able to receive the fighter for free.
The P-51B-7 modification was one of the first to receive British Merlin engines, licensed as Packard V-1650. Thanks to the new engine, the Mustang performs great at low and medium altitudes, where it can slowly speed up to about 700 km/h. The aircraft retains energy well in level flight, and thanks to its strong fuselage, it can survive over 800 km/h in the dive. There are few aircraft on its rank which performs better in vertical or horizontal maneuvers, but still the P-51 is slightly inferior to them, while maintaining a stable high max speed at altitude and good rate of climb.
The only con side of the Swedish Mustang might be its mediocre forward armament. Four wing-mount M2 machine guns, designated according to the Swedish classification as Akan m/45, are not bad, but surely not as good as cannons. But for mixed battles, the J26 (B-7) can be equipped with bombs - a pair of 100, 250 or 500-pounders.
The J26 David fighter will be available to all players in the new Battle Pass season - stay tuned for the news to find out more about the new prizes and rules of the season!

Comments will be premoderatedI thought the italian Bf 109 was boring, but this one probably takes the spot of least interesting battlepass vehicle
You forgot that Gaijin gave us the Costal fleet boats as the low tier reward
Agree, if it was rank 4 at least it would be useful for grinding but its not even rank 4.
There has to be a thousands of unique ideas for a free battle pass vehicle somewhere, and yet we have this premium version of tech tree J26. God gracious...
almost its got two less guns than the TT one6
Bruh.
So I've been hoping for a Swedish BP aircraft since season 1 and they give us a worse Mustang than the one in the tech tree. Thanks guys, you really know your player base
So you'd rather have unique or effective additions to a small tech tree be gated behind a time limited event? I will NEVER understand this playerbase...
Do you have a better idea? All there is of value as a Swedish BP prize for rank 3 is the J 26 "White D" - Sweden's first ever P-51 in the colors of J 26 "White D" of fighter wing F16 - which is what we got, and the S 18A. Yes, the S 18A would have been a much better prize, but Sweden doesn't have many options because the J 30 belongs in the tree.
Is it the same French "P51" from the Battle Path a few quarters back? Man, she's making her rounds.
Dunno if it's the same, but the French P51 look better
No, it's actually worse, the F-6C is a Malcolm Hood with the dorsal fin, which is considered by pilots to be the best Stang since it was actually lighter and faster, and had better handling. This Swedish thing is literally a copy of the C-10 in the US TT lol.
Another Mustang in battlepass?
Finally, a BP-vehicle worth grinding for! 🇸🇪
Said no one ever.
You're kidding right
i welcome this but only becouse my great grandfather flew this thing breafly when he was in the air force
Boat is good. This is ... meh. Tank will decide if its gonna be worth it this time.
So its just the J26 Sweden has already with more bombs?
Nope. This is the earlier Razerback Mustang. A different variant of the aircraft.
And minus 2 guns.
