The impressive score on fighter Ace Louis E. Curdes' "Bad Angel" P-51. Curdes served two combat tours during WW2: one with the 82nd Fighter Group in North Africa and the other with the 3rd Air Commando Group in the South Pacific. In the Mediterranean he was shot down, captured, became a prisoner-of-war in Italy and later escaped after some months in captivity. The American flag there was not a "blue-on-blue" incident. Curdes shot down a C-47 in the Philippines to prevent it from landing on the Japanese held airfield. The C-47 ditched in the sea and Curdes flew out next morning in the PBY which rescued the crew and passengers, among them several nurses. One of the latter married Curdes after the war.
