332 FG serials?
 
Hi Folks,
Does anybody know the S/N of the following 332 FG, 302 FS P-51C Mustangs:

- #72, 'Ina the Macon Belle'
- #73, 'Alice-Jo' (former #1 -painted over-, but NOT 'Skipper's Darling'!)
- Battle number of P-51C 42-103920?

(I have pics, pilot info, etc., I just need the brief numbers.)

Thanks,
Gabor

#72 - Lt. Lee Archer Jr. ( Stars & Bars has his assigned a/c as #82 " Ina The Macon Belle" ).
#73 - Capt. Wendell Pruitt.

Thanks Alex,
I do not know why, but it is depicted as '72' everywhere. Archer, the pilot was very active in his later years and he did not correct it to '82'... I assume it was just a typo, or the number had changed during his service...
Thanks,
Gabor
