George Preddy was such an awesome pilot, too bad he died before the end of the war; at the rate he was getting kills probably he would had finished as America's top ace.

At the time, this is Capt.Donald S. Bryan.of the 328th FS, 352nd FG. "The Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney". Though not mentioned in this clip. Major.George Preddy commanded this mission. Only his second commanding the 328th FS after returning from leave in the US. He did shot down 1 E/A during the mission. When he was away, the P-51's had been fitted with the new K14 gunsight. Preddy was not able to do as well as he could of, because of lack of practice with the new sight.

Your thinking of P47 mirrors.The mirrors usually used on P51's were RAF Spitfire mirrors. Much prized by the US pilots. Major. George Preddy of the 352nd FG had 2 such mirrors on his last P-51.

these companies are the same, "Bayerische Flugzeugwerke" was renamed into "Messerschmitt AG"

Thanks for clearing that up, seksanbir! So it was a "field modification," as they call it, then.

The pilots mentioned that the ground crew had recently installed the mirrors on the Mustangs. This was earlier in that episode. |
