CRIPES_A_MIGHTY is on a distinguished road
Re: A Few sites to Dribble At!

No probs!

The 1st site has some particularly cool profiles. The 51's are
real nice (51 fan). Even a profile of the P-51 in which 1st/Lt.William Preddy's was shot down, "Rusty". Not one I have seen before.( the profile not the aircraft, plus George's CAMr3d!..YUMYUM).
And a profile of the lesser shown 51 of John Landers earlier "Big Beautiful Doll"
The only one you usually get to see is the 51 he flew with the 78th FG.
If my memory serves me right (which it doesn't most of the time).
George Preddy actually flew (at some point)with Lander's while they were serving in Australia with the 49th FG. George had certainly meet him, and had great repect for Landers.
Interesting note about Landers (again, if my memory serves me well), is he wasn't actually a P-51 ace. All his scores came in different aircraft, P-38's, P-40's. He just missed out on being a 51 ace with just 4.5 aerial victories in the 51. Ground vics not included.
Think some will find that fact surprising!
