Re: The exact name of Chuck Yeager's P51 B

But the photo shown in the link in Post #8 shows Glamorous Glenn II, (two n's). So it would appear the names went:

"Glamourus Glen" for the P-51B, 47-6763. (misspelled Glamorous, possibly could? have also been misspelled as Glamurus? only "urus" known by photo ).
"Glamorous Glenn II" for P-51D 44-13897. (two n's in Glenn), photos exist showing full name.
"Glamorous Glen III" for the third plane, another P-51D, 44-14888, photos exist showing full name.

He named the Bell X-1, "Glamorous Glennis" see photo:
