Re: American aircraft photos 8 - 12
Photo 8 P-51D. Think this could be 44-13654 OS-G (357 / 355) pilot Gilleland, he flew a P-51B same name; the band behind the spinner is probably part of the theatre marking of black spinner and band, after the group's white spinner added.
The squadron colour nose bands ( 357= blue) and rudders weren't marked until Oct -Nov. 1944. and she was lost in August with another pilot. Also the band is half the width of the squadron marking. Nick PS. The B-25 Photo 9 may be 42-32388 converted to TB-25G (last numbers look like 388).
