P-51 43-12482

Hi guys

On 24/12/43 Lt Johnstone of the 355thFG erroneously 'shot-up' a P-51 which force-landed at an ALG near Dover. Was this the P-51 (43-12482) flown by Lt Felix Rogers of the 354thFG? Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers
Brian

That would be Lt Curtis Johnson (not Johnstone) who mistakenly thought the unfamiliar Mustang was a Me 109... Johnston later went down in 43-12452 which also curiously enough came from the 354FG when the 355FG converting to 51's in late February, 1944

Regards,

Bill Marshall

Thanks Bill - but do we know if Rogers was Johnson's victim?

I don't recall but believe it(p-51) was in Glen Eagleston's squadron - a spirited dialogue occurred between 354FG and 355FG on this incident.
