Any ideas what group or squadron this is from?

 

[Wurger]

I'm not sure but the serial seems to be incorrect. Actaully there was a couple of them called with the name or Short-Fuse or Short-Fuse Sallee. The closest one with the nose art and name was the 44-15622 according to the net sources.

Lt Col. R. Turner 356th FS, 354th FG and P-51D AJ+T s/n 44-63673

the source: the net.

PS. the pic caption edited because of the incorrect serial number.

Thanks again. Still some mysteries with that earlier photo. It must be one of Turner's 354th mustangs. 44-63673 does seem to be the serial in the data block. What first caught my eye, however, was the fuel grade specified, which sure looks like 100/150. But that doesn't make much sense for a 9th AF P-51. Bit of a head scratcher.

I have noticed that same. So it means that there is a mistake in the sources. I have enlarged the pic from my post #1469. And it can be noticed that the serial there ends with 73 but not with 22. So that's the P-51D 44-63673 but not the 44-15622

Mike - this is his last AJ-T. The 354th and all other Mustangs in ETOFG's were using 100/150. Ths shot post Feruary 1945.

Well dang, news to me. I didn't know the 9th AF Mustangs went to 150 grade fuel. Bit of a surprise. Thanks for the info.

So it would appear that Sallee did indeed have a short fuse...
