Hello, and greetings to all.
Our team of scuba divers (
L'avion est identifié, son pilote aussi ....) has, 4 weeks ago, discovered the wreck of a P-51B, ditched near Ajaccio, Corsica. I felt in love with the beast, and hours of internet searching allowed me to identify her. It is the plane of the Lt Taylor, 309th FS, 31st FG, who safely ditched after an escale at the Ajaccio airbase, July 5 1944. He was saved by a bystander, and we even have a witness of the crash.
So we intend to write an article in our local press in... 2 weeks, and also to create a webpage to show our work.
Here is the point, as uncle Sam said : I need you !
Indeed, it would be great to show - to the press and on the net - what the plane looked like in "wet" condition. I have seen a bunch of great profiles on that site, and maybe one of you would accept to draw an historically accurate P-51B of the 309th for us. That work would be progressive, as we do not have the serial, and the exact markings for the moment... So if one of you is interested by our little adventure, dont hesitate to answer to that post for further informations.
Sebastien.
