Another P-51 pilot takes off

Post by :FI:WillieOFS » Fri Jan 09, 2009 2:28 am

to the great beyond;
Colonel Don Blakeslee, who has died aged 90, was the first pilot to fly the long-range north American P51 Mustang fighter over Berlin and was the most decorated second world war US Army Air Force fighter pilot. He flew more missions and probably spent more time in combat than any other USAAF airman.
Good stuff here.
