F-6D-10, 44-14699, Lt. Clifford S. Slonneger, 109th TRS, 67th TRG, 9th AF, Gosselies, Belgium, 1945

67th TRG history begins in September 1941 when it was formed in Louisiana as the Observation Group and its first task were anti-submarine

patrols alongside the United States East Coast which it carried out until March 1942. Transfer to the Great Britain followed in August 1942, where the

training continued. In October 1943 it was ordered under the 9th Air Force command, renamed to 67th Tactical Reconnaissance Group and 107th

and 109th TRS under its command were equipped with F-6 Mustang. 109th TRS, in which ranks Lt. Slonneger flew 54 missions, operated this type

on photo-reconnaissance sorties until the end of hostilities. After the War, the unit was transferred back to the United States in August 1945 and

disbanded in March the following year. F-6D from this unit often had the oval window on the side of the fuselage covered. It is highly probable that it

was the case of the aircraft named Shady Lady.
