Detail for Glenn Eagleston's P-51B FT*L June 1944
 
Hi all. I want to build a model of a P-51B with a dorsal fillet as flown by a prominent ace. I have photo and profile of Don Beerbower's a/c from the same unit and time, so building that is a possibility, but I'd much rather build Eagleston's. Sadly, I can't find any pics or info for it.
Info on the 'net and in print is conflicting, but from what I can see, he recorded kills in P-51B FT*L up to June 1944. (I've seen a reference that he still flew the a/c in March 1945, but I assume this is wrong as I would have thought it would have been a P-51D by that time.) Osprey's Aces book has a profile of Beerbower's P-51B from the same unit at the same time (a photo also shows it with full invasion stripes), and this is an olive green P-51B with a fillet added. Does anyone know if Eagleston's was the same? Build Number?
Any help would be appreciated!
