One of the most famous aces of the Eighth Air Force. George Preddy's last assigned aircraft was this P51D, flown after he returned from an R&R break to take command of the 328th Fighter Squadron. It carries the squadron's standard red rudder and canopy rail name tag. A stylised barber's pole was painted on the right hand side of the cowling reflecting the part time career of of his crew chief. His previous aircraft had included P51D Cripes A'Mighty 3rd and P51B Cripes A'Mighty 2nd as well as the original Cripes A'Mighty, a P47-RE in which Preddy had scored his first three victories.
