ID request pilot 325th FG
 

The expert/s of 325th FG perhaps would recognize this
pilot seen here end of Aug 1944 at Ops Reunion at
Leordeni Airfield ?

From pictures in the Squadron/Signal "Checkertails" book .
Two look very similar.
Lt. Dan Penrod ( 317th Sqn)
OR
Mag. Ralph Johnson ( 319th Sqn ).

Definitely not Frances Langford ;)

Thanks for your feedback , I have only the "Checkertail Clan " therefore unable to verify maybe you could post the photos of the two pilots in question mentioned ?

Sorry, not able to do these days.
Perhaps another member could help ?
Maybe ( I havn't looked ) they could be available on line somewhere ?
Apologies

There is a group of 325th pilots here, including Penrod. None appear (to me at least) to be good matches. Also some of the photos are not very good.

Thanks very much for your link and photos , I fully agree with you . Perhaps a hind this pilot wearing Romanian souveniers ranks on his epaulttes took back to San Severo the "Sweet Clara II" ,presumably was a regular pilot of that Mustang
