Over my hometown crashed an P-51 "Mustang" in December 1944 (505th FS)
The Statement from mumber four position was "....and started descending in a pretty steep glide with low forward speed. I circled him and kempt him in sight all the way down. His propeller was completely stopped as thoug frozen. He bailed out at about 3,000 feet by rolling the plane over
