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 premoderatedThis is a great example of a good BP vehicle: a slight variation of a tech tree vehicle, premium and interesting enough to be added to a country. Some may find it boring, but unique vehicles that were mass produced should probably not be a BP vehicle (like the EBRs). Prototypes could also make good BP vehicles. Anyway, I'll get this one gladly.
Can't wait for the main prize to be a highly serviced highly mass produced french/british tank that people have been waiting for ages to be added.
I'll take it cuz the history is cool.
Sounds like a good Cas plane due to the high dive speed up to 800kph, as well as a fun Vehicle for air modes, thanks to the modified engine. The swedish roundel is also quite pretty in general, in my opinion.
Really interesting and honestly a nice surprise even if it's basically a P-51 and the battlepass name is interesting too. I can't wait for the main prize
All these cool vehicles but Gaijin doesn’t even add Japan’s G3M bomber which has been due for over 7 years, it's like they forgot about them.
Love the Swedish camo
Swedish low tier plane....BLERGH! But I guess it compensates the cool S-boot with the sharky camo
I found a link between the BP name and this plane : current French 2nd Hussard regiment was called David Hussard in 1743-1747 then régiment des hussards de la Reine in 1814.
well, just hope the big one will be a good one
