Now all I need is to get info on one of the aircraft he shot down, maybe the Ju-88 or He-126. Thank you so much for shaking my tree and opening my eyes. Bill

Beeson received credit (1/3) for a Ju 88 onApril 5 nw of Brandenburg at Plauen A/f where he was shot down by flak. This was at low altitude near the airfield. I have to check whether he was flying a P-51B-7NA on April 5th.
Between March 5 and April 1 he shot down five Me 109s from Bordeaux, to Mannheim to Munster and Lake Constance near Freidrichshafen
All in P-51B-5NA 43-6819 QP-B - this pic is the one on Peter Randall's website.
He shot down seven 109's destroyed plus one damaged and one probable in the P-47C/D's between May 18, 1943 and Jan 31, 1944,
plus four Fw 190s destroyed, two damaged, one probable 190 between Jul 28, 1943 and Feb 20, 1944
