North American P-51D 359th FG (IV-B) 'Princess Pat'

Images related to this file:

File Description: This folder contains a second repaint for the A2A WoP3 P-51D Mustang, in the colors of P-51D 44-14534 IV-B "Princess Pat". The original Princess Pat was a P-51C (42-103339) flown by Lt. Edward J. Thorne with the 369th FS/359th FG out of East Wretham. This aircraft was lost 4 NOV 44 to enemy AAA. Lt. Thorne survived and became a POW. This paint imagines he was able to limp back across the lines in his damaged craft and return to duty. 44-14534 did fly with the 369th FS as IV-B, but no assigned pilot is known. Lt. Thorne was unusual in that he flew from March until November 1944 but never took credit for his victories (by his count, 4-6 in the air and 1 or 2 on the ground), in fact he refused to arm his gun camera. "I do it because it's my job" he said, "...but I don't want credit for it." He is credited with the first reported sighting of an Me-163 Komet rocket plane. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the A2A paintkit.

File Description: This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP3 P-51D Mustang, in the colors of P-51D 44-14372 5Q-E "Beaver Chant" as flown by Capt. Richard C. "Slick" Penrose, of Orland CA, who flew with the 504th Fighter Squadron, 339th Fighter Group, from Fowlmere, UK. The name Beaver Chant was derived from Slick’s university, Oregon State, where the sports teams are known as “Beavers” with the chant being the supporters’ encouragement chant. The colours of the lettering were intended to be in the Beaver’s colours of orange and black but the crew could not obtain orange paint so it ended up more like a yellow on blue.

North American P-51D 353rd FG (YJ-L) "Willit Run?"

Images related to this file:

File Description: This folder contains a repaint for the A2A WoP3 P-51D Mustang, in the colors of P-51D-10-NA 44-14771 YJ-L "Willit Run?" which flew with the 351st FS, 353rd FG from Raydon in the UK, with Maj Frederick LeFebre as its regular pilot. The P-51 is named “Willit Run?”, but the nose art on this plane is not talking about this particular aircraft or any P-51 for that matter. It’s an inside joke of WWII vintage. During WWII, as in every big war, private industry is called upon to produce war goods rather than civilian goods – “guns vs. butter”. Henry Ford took on a huge project to contract-build Consolidated B-24 Liberator bombers in a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to be built on a farm which Henry Ford owned at Willow Run near Detroit. The facility was to be a prime example of Roosevelt’s “Arsenal of Democracy”, conceived and built on an unprecedented scale. Begun in April, 1941, it was the largest enclosed room in the world, with 3.5 million square feet. But Willow Run had a long and troubled construction and start-up time. So long and troubled a start-up, that after two years with little results the public became disillusioned with the project and derisively nicknamed the plant “Willit Run?”. Ford persevered however, and Willow Run finally hit its stride, eventually producing at the prodigious rate of 650 B-24 bombers per month by August, 1944. At war’s end, Willow Run had produced about half of the 18,000 B-24's which saw service in the war. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the A2A paintkit.
