  Dear Friends and modellers,

  Welcome to Eduard’s August newsle

  -

  er. This is a month that will, no doubt,

  belong to the new 48th scale Mustang,

  even though the ProPACK P-51D-5

  Mustang premiere isn’t slated unl the

  end of September. But the Mustang

  is an American aircra, an American

  thoroughbred legend, and it would

  be a crime not to introduce the kit at

  an American venue. This is especia

  -

  lly true taking into account that one

  of the beer known Mustangs was

  christened ‚Chaanooga Choo Choo‘

  and this years Naonal Convenon

  is being held in Chaanooga, Tenne

  -

  ssee. Opportunies like this need to be

  taken advantage of, and so we expen

  -

  ded a lot of eort to make it all happen

  in me. It is nished, and the Chaa

  -

  nooga Choo Choo kit, named for the

  centrepiece of opons it oers, and

  the aircra itself for the famous hit by

  Glenn Miller, is heading o to Chaa

  -

  nooga, and beyond to the farthest rea-

  ches of the modelling world. As of next

  Wednesday, the Mustang will also be

  available on the Eduard e-store in the

  Aerparty event, ensuring that even

  those who cannot make the Naonals

  are not le out in the cold. Out of the

  so far produced 3,000 kits, about 400

  remain in our warehouse, which is no

  guarantee that everyone who wants

  one, but delays, will actually get one.

  But we are working hard to get around

  this, and the second producon batch

  of the kit is in progress now, and should

  resupply stocks by the end of next

  week. It will dier from the rst batch

  in minor detail changes to the instruc

  -

  ons, and the decals will be somewhat

  thinner than those printed by Carto

  -

  graf. All other aspects of the decal she-

  ets will, in my opinion, be comparable

  to the rst release. They will hail from

  our new print facility, installed in June

  and perfected through July. You will be

  able to judge their quality for yoursel

  -

  ves, because besides the second series

  of Chaanooga Choo Choo, this equip

  -

  ment will be used for all new releases

  in September.

  Back to the Mustang. Besides the

  much overwhelming words of supp

  -

  ort, there has also been the usual ‚why

  a Mustang? We have enough Mus

  -

  tangs, there’s no need for more.‘ Yes.

  That’s how it might appear. Over the

  life of our hobby, there have been a

  lot of 48th scale Mustangs and all of

  their incarnaons are consistent with

  the technology of the me in which

  they were released. Unl now, the best

  available, with all do respect to our

  Brish and Chinese colleagues, was

  the release by Tamiya in the ninees.

  Excellent model. I built it myself, and

  I enjoyed every minute of it. But today,

  a model of the Mustang can be made

  beer to adhere to current expecta

  -

  ons in terms of detail, both internal

  and surface. This is something, I think,

  we have become quite good at, and

  this is why we produce models of sub

  -

  jects that others have done, usually to

  the extent that the technology of the

  day allowed. We are trying to do the

  same thing...produce kits that today’s

  technology allows. We could focus on

  kits no one has done before, like, say,

  a Lockheed Vega. It would be beauful,

  but something tells me that it would

  -

  n’t resonate as much as a Mustang or

  a Hurricane.

  I won’t go into any great detail, in

  describing the Mustang kit. Everything

  is on our Facebook page. I will just say

  that, just as the Mustang swept the

  skies of the Luwae in the real world,

  our Eduard Mustang is sweeping away

  the Messerschmis in our catalogue,

  at least in terms of the month of Au

  -

  gust. You see, our focus on compleng

  the Mustang in me for the Naonals

  forced the postponement of the com

  -

  pleon of moulds for the ancipated Bf

  109G-6/AS to the third quarter of the

  year. It will be a nice kit, but at the mo

  -

  ment, someone else is reigning supre-

  me.

  All the other announced new releases

  remain intact. The nicest of these,

  if you ask me, is the 1:48th scale MiG-

  -21bis as a Limited Edion kit labelled

  ‚Around the World‘. It oers seven mar

  -

  kings opons of seven air forces from

  four connents. Represenng Europe,

  there are opons for Soviet, Croaan,

  Hungarian and Polish bises, Asia is re

  -

  presented by Iraq, Libya from the Afri-

  can connent, which is also the newest

  in terms of service life, and from the

  Americas, we have a Cuban aircra. My

  personal favourites are the Central and

  Southern European birds, Polish, Croa

  -

  an and Hungarian Speaking of Cuban

  aircra, did you know that the famous

  Cuban leader and exporter of revolu

  -

  on, Che Guevara, was a pilot? A revolu-

  onary type of pilot, true, and probably

  had a prey lax set of pilong rules that

  he followed, which led to his crash lan

  -

  ding in the garden of his own villa. Well,

  his ‚own‘‚..we won’t get into the details

  of Marxist revoluonary pracces here.

  The main point is the crash itself. If you

  can gure out what it was he crashed

  in, you will get a clue as to one of our

  future projects. Take it as a small quiz

  for all those who constantly ask about

  future project plans, because they just

  can’t wait for anything and everything

  new, except for what is being released

  at the moment. And, by the way, we

  sll have not made a new nose for the

  bis, since the old nose just isn’t the de

  -

  viaon it needs to be to jusfy it. Gabor

  forgive us.

  We also have the Albatros D.V in the

  Weekend line in 1:48th and the ny

  lile A-4F Skyhawk in the SUPER44

  line, in 1:144th. The Albatros is ours,

  and the Skyhawk hails from, originally,

  Platz, from Japan. There will be more

  of these, as already menoned in pre

  -

  vious newsleers, and the next in line

  are Hellcats and P-51D Mustangs.

  Turning our aenon to accessories,

  please note the 1:32nd scale sets for

  the Fw 190A-8/R2 (Revell) and Bf 110C

  (Revell, ex-Dragon). In this line, we are

  also releasing a collecon of sets for

  the MH-60L from Kiy Hawk. Please

  note that this kit is in 1:35th. In the

  standard 35th line, we have two sets,

  for the Su-85 from Zvezda and for the

  M10 IIC Achilles from Tamiya. In 1:48th

  scale, we are oering newly designed

  sets for the Yak-1b from Zvezda, a kit

  that has its roots in Accurate Miniatu

  -

  res. This is a kit we also released in our

  Limited Edion lines some me back.

  Besides these, we also have another

  three 1:48th scale sets, for the A6M5

  Zero from Tamiya, the F-4J from Aca

  -

  demy and the F-22A from Hasegawa.

  In 1:72nd, we have sets focused on the

  In the Brassin line of resin details,

  I would like to point out the selecon

  of sets for the 1:32nd scale Bf 109E

  Engine and Bf 109E Fuselage Guns,

  sets that are suitable for our recently

  released legion Condor Limited Edi

  -

  on kit. We also have a set for the

  Bf 109G-10/U4 cockpit, meant for the

  most recent edion of the Bf 109G kits,

  the G-10 armed with 30mm MK 108s.

  Note also the set of FOD covers for the

  MiG-21 in 1:48th, which is essenally

  a set scaled up from the 72nd scale

  release from June. There was a lot of

  demand for these sets on various fo

  -

  rums. The line of 35th scale weapons

  expanded by the eight-gun set of STEN

  Mk.II submachine guns, and aircra

  sets in 1:48th have grown by the addi

  -

  on of the SUU-7 Dispenser w/ Exten-

  ded Tubes (648478). There are also

  three new LooK sets, notably including

  one for the new 1:48th scale P-51D-5.

  Here, the D-5 sux is prey important,

  because the D-5 had a dierent instru

  -

  ment panel from later Mustangs, which

  will be covered in version-specic sets.

  Besides the LooKs, there are also two

  new, small sets for the Mustang. These

  are the exhausts and wheels. In me,

  there will be more wheel sets, dictated

  by tread paerns. We also have wheel

  sets for the 1:72nd scale for Tamiya’s P

  -

  -47D. There are no BigSins for August,

  but there are six new BigEds.

  Besides Chaanooga, we are also

  looking forward to Pilsen and Lysa

  nad labem. Yes, the laer is E-day, and

  it’s me to invest some aenon to

  that show. I should begin giving some

  clues as to the admissions kit, but I am

  thinking that this is a bit of a waste of

  me, since everyone will gure it out

  in no me. So, just for the heck of it,

  start guessing! It’s also me to start

  divulging some of the details regar

  -

  ding E-day scheduling, especially with

  regards to the Friday evening of the

  show. We are preparing the program

  for that evening, and it will be called

  ‚Heat Wave‘, inspired by a Mustang of

  the same name oered in the P-51D-5

  ProPACK kit, which will be released

  on the occasion of the show. There

  will be three seminars, all dedicated to

  the Mustang. One will be focused on

  Mustangs over the Protectorate, one

  will be focused on building our kit, and

  the third will be on ying the Mustang.

  These will be done by a historian, mo

  -

  deller and pilot, respecvely. There will

  also be a seminar that will detail the

  aspects and consideraons of judging a

  model in both basic categories, the Na

  -

  onal Championships, Hobby as well

  as Masters levels. This is in response

  to our colleagues from the SMCR from

  last year regarding fairness (or lack of)

  of the point system and nal results of

  the Naonal Championships. I am ho

  -

  ping that these seminars will be price-

  less to the show, and hopeful of what

  they can bring to the table, so to speak.

  The show will also have a stand with

  coee and strudel, and most likely one

  with beer and some food as well. Our

  table, as well as maybe a few others,

  will be open for business. There will be

  much to oer, trust me! Maybe even

  moreso than the Mustang, the MiG

  -

  -23BNs in 1:48th scale will be pulling

  some weight. I suspect most of you will

  already be aware of this forthcoming

  kit, but if not, it is the Trumpeter kit

  released as one of our standard Limi

  -

  ted Edion eorts. It will also include

  a publicaon by Marn Janousek. It is

  an extension of last years Bedna re

  -

  lease, which covered the MF and ML

  ghters. There will be no eort in the

  kit to correct the shape issues that are

  a part of the base kit, and we didn’t

  do that in the Bedna kit, either. I will

  touch upon that in the next newsleer,

  but I have explained this on numerous

  occasions before. Besides this, there

  will also be a Weekend Edion kit co

  -

  vering the MiG-21MFN, which won’t

  have quite the aracve markings

  opons of the MF released in Septem

  -

  ber (and sold at Pilsen), but even so,

  the two opons are nice in their own

  ways. And then we have the Fokker

  D.VII MAG, where a good half of the

  marking opons are dedicated to the

  only machine of this type to y in the

  Czechoslovak Air Force. I am condent

  that all of these kits, including the BN,

  will sll be available on the Saturday. If,

  for some reason, there are sellouts on

  the Friday, there will be an aempt to

  restock for the Saturday, but it will be

  best to just show up on the Friday!

  Happy Modelling

  44-13535, Lt. Edward F. Pogue, 79th FS, 20th FG, Kings Cliffe, United Kingdom, 1945

  ‚Pardon me, boy, is that the Chatanooga Choo Choo...?‘ was very oen heard throu-

  ghout the fores in dance halls in the United States and England, especially on bases

  of the USAAF. Mustang MC-R, with the aircra leer underlined, was own by Lt. E.F.

  ‚Pogie‘ Pogue at the end of 1944, and already had a long and rich service career be-

  hind her that saw a list of 20th FG pilots in the cockpit. The aircra carried names like

  ‚Black’s Bird‘ and ‚Wilma‘, but it was under the name of ‚Chatanooga Choo Choo‘ that

  the airplane made her mark, a name taken from the popular song by Mack Gordon

  and Harry Warren and made famous by Glenn Miller.

  As the names of the plane changed, so did its appearance. The original 20th FG mar-

  kings consisng of black and white stripes on the nose behind the spinner were later

  supplemented by vercal black and white bands, the 20th Fighter Group idener.

  The black square on the tail indicated service with the 79th Fighter Squadron. The

  applicaon of the invasion stripes also went through an evoluon. During the course

  of its service career, the aircra received the wing llet that became typical of later

  block P-51Ds, although as of the end of summer, 1944, the aircra is documented

  with the original tail. Later on, the serial number of the aircra also made a return on

  the n and rudder. The illustraon here captures the look of the aircra as it appeared

  in the spring of 1945, by then carrying the name ‚Chatanooga Choo Choo‘ on the le

  side and ‚V-2‘ on the right. By this me, the invasion stripes had been removed, and so

  were the ETO quick idencaon markings. The underlined individual aircra leer

  indicated that, at the me, there was already an airframe coded MC-R ying. During

  this period, it was own almost exclusively by Lt. Pogue and according to available

  sources, was used in achieving all of his victories on the ground, six destroyed and

  four conrmed damaged. Lt. Pogue’s most successful combat mission came on April

  10th, 1945, when he destroyed three He 111s and a Bf 109, while damaging another

  of each. Aer the end of the Second World War, Lt. Pogue piloted F-80s in Japan and

  later ew F-84s during the Korean War. He ended his career as a Lt. Colonel. For his

  outstanding service, he received nine Air Medals and two DFCs, among others.

  44-13298, Capt. Freddie F. Ohr, 2nd FS, 52nd FG, Madna, Italy, Fall,1944

  The 52nd Pursuit Squadron, known aer May, 1942 as the 52nd Fighter Group, was

  established in January, 1941 at Selfridge Field in Michigan. Inial training was under-

  taken on the P-39 and was followed by a move to Northern Ireland in the summer of

  1942, where the unit connued training on Spiires, and this was in turn followed by

  a brief combat tour over western Europe under the command of the 8th AF. By No-

  vember, 1942, the enre unit was transferred to Northern Africa. Aer arrival there,

  combat operaons were undertaken through north Africa, Sicily and Italy while sll

  ying Spiires, but this me under the leadership of the 12th USAAF. In April, 1944,

  the long awaited change to the Mustang arrived, along with a change in mission assig-

  nment and locaon under the 15th AF, tasking the 52nd FG with escort dues of this

  Army Air Force’s strategic bombers. The aircra own by Freddie Ohr, an American

  ace of Korean decent, was as it was delivered from the manufacturing facility, with

  aluminum sprayed wings and a bare metal fuselage. The red nose and yellow rear fu-

  selage disnguished aircra of the 52nd FG and the yellow wing bands were reserved

  for aircra of the 15th USAAF.

  44-13984, Lt. Clarence Boretsky, 334th FS, 4th FG, Debden, United Kingdom, Fall, 1944

  The 4th FG was dubbed the ‚Debben Eagles‘ due to their beginnings, having been

  formed from originally RAF Squadrons (No.s 71, 121 and 133). Aer being incorpo-

  rated into the 8th USAAF, the units were redesignated as the 334th FS, 335th FS and

  the 336th FS. Their equipment, in the form of the legendary Spiire, was changed on

  April 1st, 1943 to the P-47, and these were in turn replaced by the P-51 in February,

  1944. Lt Boretsky joined the 4th FG in June, 1944 and applied the inscripon ‚MEG‘

  to the noses of his aircra, which were the inials of his neighbour and platonic love,

  Mary Ellen G. The scheme of this aircra was as it was delivered from the factory.

  Black ETO quick idencaon bands on the wings and stabilizers that were used over

  Europe were also added. As with other 4th FG aircra, the nose was painted in red

  and the rudder in the same colour adorned aircra of the 334th FS. The applicaon of

  the invasion stripes were consistent with requirements from the end of summer and

  beginning of fall, 1944, when all that remained from the original markings were the

  short bands only under the fuselage. Even these were removed from aircra as the

  war drew to its inevitable conclusion.

  44-13783, Lt. Irving Snedeker, 364th FS, 357th FG, Leiston, United Kingdom, April, 1945

  The 357th Fighter Group was the rst of the 8th Army Air Force to be equipped with the

  P-51 Mustang, with which they began to undertake training at Raydon in Great Britain.

  Combat operaons were iniated in February, ying out of Leiston. Lt. George Morris rst

  ew this Mustang named ‚Bobby Marilyn‘, and it was later own by Lt. Irving Snedeker,

  who was hit by ak in the spinner on April 17, 1945 during a raid on the air eld at Prague-

  -Ruzyne and was forced to put down on the eld’s perimeter. Aer a short me in capvi-

  ty, he was taken by car and delivered to American units together with Germans eeing the

  coming Soviet forces. The aircra own by Lt. Snedeker carried the inscripon ‚ROVIN‘

  RHODA‘ on the le side of the nose and ‚4BOLTS‘ on the right. Former group members

  speak of Brish colours (Dark Green and Medium Sea Grey), but preserved vintage colour

  photos show US colours Olive Drab and Neutral Grey. The noses of 357th FG aircra carried

  a yellow and red checkerboard paern and the spinner was painted in the same colours.

  By the me when, on April 17th, 1945, Lt. Snedeker took o on a mission to support bombers

  headed for targets in eastern Germany and the Protectorate, ‚Rovin‘ Rhoda‘ was already a

  true veteran. On that day, the 8th USAAF aacked, besides the main target of the marsha-

  lling yard at Dresden, transportaon and industrial sites in Kladno, Us nad Labem, Roud-

  nice, Sokolov and Beroun. In the vicinity of the targets, the escorng Mustangs met with

  signicant enemy ghter opposion, dominated by Me 262s, during which the American

  pilots downed thirteen aircra and destroyed a further 286 on the ground (with another

  118 listed as damaged) for the loss of seventeen of their own. One of these was Snedeker’s

  ‚Rovin‘ Rhoda‘. At 1655h, during a run at Luwae aircra on the ramp at Prague-Ruzyne ai-

  rport, Snedeker’s aircra was hit in the spinner and lost its propeller. There was lile opon

  but to land wheels up immediately in front of him. He spent a few days in capvity among

  the Me 262 pilots, and according to his memoirs, Snedeker was treated quite well, with the

  German pilots poking fun at him for landing his Mustang without the use of a propeller.

  The aircra was painted in green, which was common to day-ghng D-5 version Mus-

  tangs of the VIII Fighter Command at the beginning of summer, 1944. At the me of its

  loss, the invasion stripes were prey much all removed, and even the quick idencaon

  ETO markings were missing. The yellow rudder, associated with the 364th FS, supplemen-

  ted the yellow and red checkerboard paern which was used on aircra of the 357th FG.

  44-13893, Lt. Thomas P. Smith, 370th FS, 359th FG, East Wretham, United Kingdom, 1945

  On April 11th, 1944, Thomas P. ‚Teepee‘ was forced into an emergency landing in his

  Thunderbolt at Macau, France. Aer a short me in capvity, he was reunited with

  his unit on September 16th, 1944, by which me they had been re-equipped with

  the P-51D Mustang. Aer some necessary conversion training, he undertook his rst

  combat sore in a Mustang on November 21st, 1944, and shot down two Focke Wulf

  Fw 190s. His aircra was as it was delivered from the factory. The green nose was a

  characterisc of aircra belonging to the 359th Fighter Group, and aircra allocated

  to the 370th Fighter Squadron had a blue rudder towards the end of the war. The

  yellow inscripon on the nose belonged to Smith’s younger sister, Caroline. The air-

  cra is illustrated here as she appeared in the spring of 1945 prior to the cessaon

  of operaons in Europe. Later, it received blue canopy framing, red exhaust covers,

  44-13677, Lt. William G. Cullerton, 357th FS, 355th FG, Steeple Morden, United Kingdom, 1944

  William Cullerton, a nave of Chicago, was born on June 2nd, 1923. He volunteered

  for the air service on America’s entry into the war, underwent training and ew P-

  -51B and P-51D Mustangs with the 357th FG. On April 8th, 1945, he was hit during an

  aack on the eld at Ansbach and was forced to land. He was discovered by German

  soldiers, one of which shot him in the stomach, and was abandoned. He was found by

  a German farmer, who, thinking this was a German pilot, took him to the nearest hos-

  pital, from where the American was able to escape. Aer the war, he married Elaine

  Stephen and in the ies, he formed Cullerton Co., a maker of outdoor and shing

  products. He died on January 12, 2013. Over the course of the Second World War,

  he destroyed 21 enemy aircra, ve in the air and sixteen on the ground. His aircra

  appeared as it was delivered, with the nose and tail were painted at unit level in light

  blue. The nose bore an inscripon relang to his lady friend, Miss Steve.

  The North American P-51 Mustang is a plane that needs little in the

  way of introduction. Appearing in US service over Europe in early

  1944 it sounded the death knell for the Luftwa󰀨e. Already engaged

  in a battle of attrition with increasing numbers of P-47 Thunderbolts

  and P-38 Lightnings, the huge range of the Mustang meant there

  were few areas of Germany that were safe for the Luftwa󰀨e to

  operate in. The Mustang’s introduction meant that Eighth Air Force

  bombers could now be escorted all the way to their targets and

  Jagdwa󰀨e losses become increasingly severe.

  The 20th Fighter Group arrived in the UK in August 1943 and

  was based at Station 367 King’s Cli󰀨e in Northamptonshire. After

  a period of training it entered combat ying missions with the 55th

  Fighter Group in November. Equipped with the P-38 Lightning the

  group ew escort missions, ghter sweeps and bombing raids.

  Many early missions were blighted due to problems with group’s

  Lightnings. Poor reliability and frequent engine problems led to

  a high number of aircraft aborting missions and others not returning.

  The group’s lowest point was the mission of 11th February 1944

  when 8 aircraft were lost including the CO Col. Montgomery.

  Slowly the issues were solved and the Lightning became an

  e󰀨ective aircraft, especially in the run up to D-Day when missions

  were performed at lower altitudes which suited the plane far

  better. However due to the issues with the P-38 the decision had

  been made to convert all the Lightning groups onto the Mustang.

  The rst Mustangs arrived at King’s Cli󰀨e in early July 1944 and

  by the end of the month the Group had converted fully to the type.

  Mustang 44-13535 was a P-51D-5NA and was built at the

  company’s factory in Inglewood, California. It was given the NAA

  construction number 109-72168 and was delivered to the USAAF

  on 23rd June 1944. Assigned to the 20th Fighter Group on the

  4th July 1944 it was one of the original Mustangs in the group.

  Little did anyone know that the plane would go on to y with the

  group throughout the rest of the war racking up an impressive 107

  completed missions.

  44-13535 didn’t enjoy the most auspicious starts to its combat

  career. Assigned to the 79th Fighter Squadron and Lt. Frank Roark,

  who named it Wilma, it took part in the 20th Fighter Group’s rst full

  P-51 mission on 24th July 1944 providing cover for bomber attacks

  in support of the American breakout attempt from Normandy.

  However the next two missions both resulted in early returns. On

  its seventh mission 44-13535 would open its account against the

  Luftwa󰀨e. On 9th August having escorted a raid to the Munich

  area the 79th Fighter Squadron became embroiled with Luftwa󰀨e

  ghters. Lt. Roark reported on his return to King’s Cli󰀨e “I was

  leading Blue Flight when we saw 40 plus Fw190s o󰀨 to our left, 45

  miles away ying 180° to us. We were at 18,000ft with the 190s

  about 3,000ft below us. We made a left turn which allowed us to

  drive right up behind the enemy aircraft out of the sun. I red at one

  from 200 – 250 yards, 10° deection. He took little evasive action.

  I saw strikes all along the fuselage from the engine to the tail and

  on the right wing. Pieces ew o󰀨 and he broke into re around the

  engine at 15,000ft. I last saw the plane uttering to the ground out

  of control as though the pilot had been killed.” Roark had expended

  960 rounds of .50cal ammunition in destroying this Focke Wulf 190.

  It would take until 10th September before 44-13535 saw more

  combat. Being own by Lt. Clyde Dixon on a mission to the Stuttgart

  area Blue Flight spotted an aireld with several Luftwa󰀨e aircraft

  parked on it. Attacking at low level Blue One was damaged by ak

  whilst Blue Two and Three set ve aircraft ablaze on their pass.

  Dixon ying as Blue Four delayed his pass slightly but claimed an

  unidentied enemy aircraft as damaged. These low level attacks

  proved very dangerous and many American airmen would be lost

  whilst strang airelds in the last year of the war.

  The following day the 20th Fighter Group provided the escort to

  Frantic VI a shuttle mission to the USSR. The group were assigned

  to escort 75 B-17s from the 45th Combat Wing of the 3rd Bomb

  Division. They rendezvoused with the bombers 30 miles east of

  their target, an industrial plant in Chemnitz and escorted them

  until German Soviet frontline was reached. The 11th of Septem

  ber was one of the most intense days in the air war over Europe

  but the 20th Fighter Group and their bombers didn’t see any

  German Fighters. The group landed at Piryatin aireld six and

  half hours after take-o󰀨. Lt Horst became separated from the rest

  of the 79th Fighter Squadron and was unable to locate Piryatin.

  He eventually force landed in Poland having spent over nine

  hours in the air, which was a new record for a single engine ghter

  on a combat mission. 44-13535 was own on this mission by

  Lt Roark who was promoted to Captain two days later. On the

  13th September the bombers left Soviet territory, escorted by the

  20th Fighter Group, and attacked targets at Miscolcz in Hungary.

  Escorting the bombers as far as Adriatic Coast of Yugoslavia the

  ghters landed at three airelds near Foggia in Italy. The next three

  days were spent enjoying wine, beer, bourbon and Coca Cola as

  well as visiting Foggia and swimming in the Adriatic Sea. The last

  leg of the mission was considered a non-operational ight as they

  returned over France to the UK.

  Newly promoted Captain Roark completed his tour and returned

  to the USA at the end of September. 44-13535 was own

  by a number of di󰀨erent pilots. It was during this period that

  Lt. Walter Bullers claimed a He115 oatplane destroyed. Spotting

  a number of enemy seaplanes moored on a lake near Berg

  Dievenow the group attacked. Red ight destroyed four He115s

  before Blue ight, including Lt. Buller in 44-13535, destroyed

  a further two.

  At some point in late 1944 44-13535 was tted with the extended

  n llet to improve lateral stability. It also received camouage

  on its upper surfaces and the 20th Fighter Group’s new unit

  identity colours of black and white “piano keys” on the nose.

  The camouaged green upper surfaces may have been linked to

  the plan to relocate some of the Eighth Air Force Fighter Groups

  to the continent. The green was later removed and the aircraft

  returned to its natural metal nish.

  44-13535 was then assigned to Lt. Richard Black who renamed the

  aircraft from Wilma to Black’s Bird. The aircraft had a disappointing

  end to 1944. No more successes in combat was compounded by

  a series of early returns and failures to take o󰀨 due to mechanical

  issues. This period of frustration came to an end on 44-13535’s 61st

  mission on the 14th January 1945. Lt Black ying as Red One on

  an escort mission to Magdeburg “Before the target we saw 75 plus

  enemy aircraft at 30,000 ft. We

  were at 27,000 feet. We dropped

  tanks. I led my ight on a bounce

  of three enemy aircraft and I got

  a 90° deection shot at one. I saw

  no strikes. I ended up on the tail

  of the third enemy aircraft in the

  group. I gave him a half second

  burst, 200 yards, 10° deection.

  Saw strikes. My outboard right

  gun didn’t re. This pulled me o

  the target. The enemy aircraft

  pulled up and chopped his throttle.

  I did the same and slipped in

  behind him again and red

  a two second burst, 0° deection

  from 50 yards. I got many strikes

  on both wings. Smoke poured

  out from what appeared to be the

  engine. He rolled over and started

  to auger towards the ground.

  I followed him down to 18,000 feet

  during which period I gave him

  several more one second bursts.

  I pulled up when I saw another

  bogie which proved to be friendly.

  In pulling up to 25,000 feet,

  sharply, I lost my ight. O my port side I saw 5 Me109s in a left

  turn. I bounced the number two man which dispersed the formation.

  I gave him a one second burst, 30° deection from 200 yards.

  There were hits on both his wings. In clearing my tail I saw that

  the number ve man positioning himself on my tail. Consequently

  I broke away.” Lt Buller claimed one Me109 destroyed and

  a further one damaged.

  The 14th February saw Capt. John Taylor’s rst mission with

  the Group. Returning in 44-13535 from a mission to targets

  in Dresden accurate ak punched a hole through the tail of the

  Mustang. Capt. Taylor was able to make it back to King’s Cli󰀨e in

  the damaged plane which was repaired and available for action the

  following day. Shortly after this incident the aircraft was assigned

  to Lt. Edward Pogue. Hailing from Chattanooga, Tennessee

  Lt. Pogue had 44-13535 renamed “Chattanooga Choo Choo”

  44-14365, MC-E Bud’s Comet) who

  claimed a He 115 as destroyed on

  44-13535.

  In October 1944 the song was included on

  a V-Disc record released by the War Department

  and sent free to overseas military personnel which

  meant it would have been a familiar sound around

  US airelds in early 1945.

  Lt. Pogue’s second mission in “Chattanooga

  Choo Choo” on the 20th February resulted

  in more combat success for 44-13535. The

  20th Fighter Group was directed to attack rail

  tra󰀩c found in the area of Nuremburg. Arriving

  at 11:50 the group split and looked for targets on

  the four main rail lines leading from Nuremburg.

  The 79th Fighter Squadron report states “After

  our squadron had strafed transportation targets

  in the area Lt. Jones, leading Blue Flight, sighted

  an aireld on which there were approximately

  35 He111s, 8 Me110s, 1 Me410, 1 Me109 and

  1 Fw190. The aireld was strafed from 12:35

  until 12:45. Blue Flight led by Lt. Jones made

  two passes, Red Flight led by Capt. Hollins made

  three passes, Yellow Flight led by Capt. Kies made

  two passes and White Flight led by Major Meyer

  made two passes. Light ak was encountered

  coming from the woods north west of the aireld.

  It was moderate and inaccurate. Capt. Kies was

  wounded in the right leg by a single .30 cal projectile.

  Planes were dispersed and an attempt had been

  made to camouage them by covering them with

  boughs from trees and mesh netting”. Lt Pogue

  expended 530 rounds and claimed two He111s

  destroyed. The 79th Fighter Squadron claimed

  22 aircraft destroyed and a further 15 damaged

  in this ten minute attack.

  The pace of operations at this time can be seen

  by the fact that next claim made in “Chattanooga

  Choo Choo” was 52 days after the 20th February

  mission. In those 52 days 44-13535 ew 40

  missions. The mission of 13th April was to escort

  Bombers attacking railroad yards east of Hamburg.

  The 79th Fighter Squadron then attacked airelds across the

  Jutland Peninsular. Two passes were made over the aireld at Jagel.

  Lt. Pogue claimed an Me109 damaged on the second pass.

  A further landing strip near Hutzfeld was also attacked with

  Lt. Pogue claiming to have damaged a He177. These were the

  last claims made by a pilot ying 44-13535. The aircraft would y

  another six missions with the last on one 21st April. The 20th Fighter

  Group ew one further mission on 25th April but “Chattanooga

  Choo Choo” wasn’t scheduled to y. By this point there were few

  worthwhile targets left in the little that remained of the Third Reich’s

  territory. Thirteen days later the Germans surrendered and the war

  in Europe was over.

  44-13535 had own 107 combat missions to targets all across

  occupied Europe, had visited the Soviet Union and Italy, had been

  own operationally by 35 di󰀨erent pilots and was responsible for

  the destruction of ve enemy aircraft and damaging a further four.

  As the war in Europe became a memory and the world returned

  to some form of normality a huge number of combat aircraft were

  scrapped. Having an illustrious war time record was not reason

  enough to keep an aircraft and on 21st August 1945 44-13535 was

  recorded as having been scrapped, probably at RAF Speke.

  The 52nd Pursuit Squadron, known aer May, 1942 as the 52nd Fighter Group, was established

  in January, 1941 at Selfridge Field in Michigan. Inial training was undertaken on the P-39 and

  was followed by a move to Northern Ireland in the summer of 1942, where the unit connued

  training on Spiires, and this was in turn followed by a brief combat tour over western Euro-

  pe under the command of the 8th AF. By November, 1942, the enre unit was transferred to

  Northern Africa. Aer arrival there, combat operaons were undertaken through north Africa,

  Sicily and Italy while sll ying Spiires, but this me under the leadership of the 12th USAAF.

  In April, 1944, the long awaited change to the Mustang arrived, along with a change in mission

  assignment and locaon under the 15th AF, tasking the 52nd FG with escort dues of this Army

  Air Force’s strategic bombers. The aircra own by Freddie Ohr, an American ace of Korean

  decent, was as it was delivered from the manufacturing facility, with aluminum sprayed wings

  and a bare metal fuselage. The red nose and yellow rear fuselage disnguished aircra of the

  P-47D-26-RA, Maj. Donavon Smith, the CO of 61st FS, 56th FG, Boxted AB, early 1945

  Smith´s personal mount was camouaged in a consistent manner with other 56th Fighter Group aircraft. The paints used are a topic of discussion, but in all

  probability were British Dark Green, Ocean Gray and Medium Sea Gray. In early 1945, a temporary white color was painted on the upper surfaces. The red

  rudder identies this as a 61st Fighter Squadron aircraft. Maj. Donavon Smith led the 61st FS from September 26, 1944 to January 10, 1945. He is credited

  with 7.5 conrmed kills, one probable and three enemy aircraft damaged. After the war, Smith´s military career continued and his last assignment was as CO of

  the 6th Tactical Air Force.

  Bf 109F-4/Trop, W. Nr. 8673, Hptm. Hans-Joachim Marseille, CO of 3./ JG 27, Quotaiya, Egypt, September 1942

  Hans-Joachim Marseille ew this aircraft from August 24th, 1942 to September 25th, 1942, after his return from Rome. Flying this plane he was credited with

  49 shot downs of Allied forces’ aircraft; this aircraft was the last “Friedrich” he used. On September 30th, 1942 piloting Messerschmitt Bf 109G-2/Trop he lead

  3rd Staffel during the escort of Stuka Staffel. His cockpit lled up with smoke upon his return to the base and he was forced to catapult himself. His attempt was

  unsuccessful, during his catapult he hit the rudder of his aircraft, consequently he lost consciousness, his parachute then failed to open and the fall to the

  ground became fatal for him. After Marseille’s death, W. Nr. 8673, served at 1./ SG 2 where it got lost after being hit by ak south of El Alamein on October

  22th,1942. This aircraft is painted RLM 79 on the upper sides and all over the sides of the fuselage, this was an irregularity. The undersides were camouaged

  by RLM 78. The camouage was complemented by the marking of the aircraft ying in the Southern Front – white wingtips, white propeller spinner and white

  band on the tail of the aircraft. The engine cover had I. Gruppe JG 27 emblem on both sides.
