BL255, Lt. Don S. Gentile, 336th FS, 4th FG, 8th AF, Debden, United Kingdom, November 1942
No. 133 (Eagle) Squadron formed in July 1941
at RAF airbase Coltishall, was in 1942 the first
American squadron re-equipped with Spitfires
Mk.IX. However, the unit lost its twelve “Nines”
in only three days before Eagle squadron was
transferred under the USAAF command, during
the B-17 escort over Morlaix. After its inclusion
into 8th AF USAAF on September 29, 1942, it
continued flying the good old Spitfires Mk.Vb
as it was transformed from No. 133 (Eagle)
Squadron RAF into 336th FS, 4th FG. The BL255
Spitfire, nicknamed Buckeye Don, was the
personal aircraft of Don Gentile, the future
most successful fighter pilot of the 8th AF with
19 kills, 3 damaged and 6 destroyed on the
ground enemy aircraft. He was credited with
two more kills during the combat over Dieppe on
August 19, 1942, while he was still serving with
RAF. The same nose art as on BL255 was later
sported on the famous P-51B Shangri La and
it was also incorporated into 334th FS insignia.
