G'day guys!

Any photos around of the following aircraft? Can't find squat on the net or in my books.

P-51B-5, s/n 43-6704, PZ-H, HELL-ER-BUST, flown by Lt. Edwin Heller, 486 FS, 352 FG, 8th AF

P-51B-15, s/n 42-106914, PE-P, The West 'by gawd' Virginian, flown by Lt. Robert H. Powell Jr., 352 FG, 8th AF


Cheers in Advance!

Cheers Wayne, that's a nice print! Do indeed need pics of his B though.

Think I might have one of the first one Evan, I'll have a search through my books.
Get in touch with Harrison (B-17 Engineer), as he was collecting loads of stuff and photos on the unit, and was/is in touch with some of the veterans.

Sorry Evan, I thought I had a colour photo of 'Hell-Er-Bust' in 'The Mighty 8th in Colour', but it turned out to be a different kite. All I've got is a colour profile, similar to the one posted, in Osprey's 'Mustang Aces' book.

No worries Tery, thanks for looking!
