Re: Captured P-51B T9+PK
The first P-51 captured by Germany was P-51B-15-NA 43-24825 QP-G with no DFF. It would have arrived at 4th FG in NMF sometime in late April, early May. It went down intact with puncture in coolant line near Rouen on D-Day and Lieutenant Tom Fraser was POW.
P-51C-5-NT 42-103458 received the DFF as a post production Field Modification coupled with Reverse Rudder Boost Tab. It was accepted by AAF on March 10, 1944 and reached 325th FG in May 1944. Downed on 12-10-44.
