Does any one know if the original pilot was an ace, or how many missions she went on and were and when. I actually know, not the newest pilot but a couple before that named Dave presta who worked for the CA Warbirds San Jose/ Hollister CA

here's some photos

I have Col. James D. Mayden, commanded the 352nd Fighter Group (328th Fighter Squadron)

EDIT: If you didn't know, I believe the line-up of aircraft in the fourth photo is a meeting of USAAF Fighter Group commanders. Not sure of date or where

EDIT the EDIT: Bill drgondog could you verify the pilot and date and place of the above photo. Thanks in advance
