Decal Sheet

Captain Charles Weaver
'Passion Wagon'

P-51D-20-NA, 44-72199 G4 A
flown by Captain Charles E.
Weaver of the 362nd Fighter
Squadron. The aircraft is in
overall natural metal finish
and wears the red and yellow
striped spinner and nose
checkerboard
markings to identify it as a
machine belonging to the
357th Fighter Group. A
relatively simply
marked machine, it lacks the
standard black theatre
markings applied to the wings
and horizontal
stabilisers of European theatre
P-51s but wears some
stunning nose art in the form
of a reclining
nude as well as a pretty
substantial scoreboard and
black G4 squadron and A
plane in squadron code
letters on the
fuselage. The aircraft’s
serial number on the vertical
stabiliser and rudder
complete the markings. 1944

KW132008 'Shangri La' -
'Salem Representative'

P-51B-15-NA 42-106924 Salem
Representative, flown by
Flight Officer Ralph 'Kidd'
Hofer, 334th Fighter
Squadron, 4th Fighter
Group, May 1944 A rebellious
maverick who habitually flew
in a blue and orange college
football shirt, the 'Kidd' began
his flying career in the RCAF,
transferring to the USAAF in
June 1943. The Salem
Representative was Hofer's
third P-51B, assigned to him
in April 1944 - his first two
aircraft had been lost while
being flown by other pilots.
The aircraft had
drab upper surfaces, with a
very high demarcation on the
fuselage, and a red band
across the fin in the same
position as the discontinued
recognition marking.
Black recognition stripes were
retained underwing and
under the tail plane. An ace
even before promotion from
Flight Officer to
Lieutenant, Hofer was killed
in action over Yugoslavia on
2 July 1944, shot down by a
Bf 109. He was credited with
15 enemy aircraft in the air,
and destroyed another 15 on
the ground, prior to his death.
P-51B-5-IMA 43-6913
Shangri-La, flown by Captain
Don Gentile, 336th Fighter
Squadron, 4th Fighter Group,
March 1944
Winner of the 'Ace Race' to
reach Rickenbacker's 26 kills
(racking up 21.83 aerial and
six ground victories by April
1944), Gentile's
Personal kill list, and Gen
Eisenhower's remark that the
youngster from Ohio was a
'one-man air force', obscure
his contribution as a team
player, whose unselfish
partnership
with wingman John T
Godfrey proved mutually
beneficial. Rejected for pilot
training by the USAAC,
Gentile followed
the example of many of his
compatriots and
enlisted with the RCAF,
scoring his first kill (and
receiving a British DFC) as a
member of No 133 'Eagle'
Sqn flying Spitfires
in support of the Dieppe
landings. Gentile transferred
to the USAAF with his
squadron in September
1942, achieving 2 Spitfire and
4.33 P-47 kills before
converting to the
P-51 and scoring a further
15.5. The beautifully
decorated Shangri-La broke
its back when
Gentile hit the runway
during a low-level pass after
completing his last
operational mission on 13
April 1944. He later flew a
silver P-51D with similar
markings during a fund-
raising drive in
the USA. Later was assigned
to Test Flight at Wright-
Patterson AFB, Ohio. Left
service in
April 1946. Re-entered the
fewly formed USAF in
December 1947.
Fatally injured in an air
accident on January 20, 1951.

'Iron Ass' - 'My Achin Back'

Two great artworks created
by Crew Chief/Staff Seargant
Donald E Allen, which
adornedthe silver P51Ds of
the 334th Fighter Squadron.
'Iron Ass' was a departure
from the scantily clad girl-
theme, whilst ' My Achin
Back was most likely a
reference to a common
complaint by pilots
suffering 8 hour flights on
a rock hard parachute/seat!

KW132005 'Ill wind' - 'Miss Dallas'

P-51B-5NA 43-6636 ILL WIND,
flown by Ist Lieutenant
Nicholas 'Cowboy' Megura,
334th Fighter
Squadron, 4th Fighter Group,
April 1944. The factory
camouflaged P-51B Ill Wind
flown by Nicholas 'the
Cowboy' Megura, who
amassed a total of
11.83 air-to-air kills, with
another 3.75 by strafing.
Megura (by then a Captain)
crash-landed in Sweden after
being hit in the glycol tank in
error by a P-38 on 22
May 1944. He was prohibited
from re-entering combat after
his repatriation due to the
rules of his previous
internment. On most early
camouflaged (and
natural metal) Mustangs
the specified white nose
recognition band gave way to
Group colours (red for the
'Eagles' of the 4th FG, for
example) while
the tailfin stripe was deleted
because it broke up the
distinctive outline of the
Mustang's tail.
White stripes were retained
on the wings and tailplane,
however (black on natural
metal aircraft).
