[Adriano Baumgartner]

Art,
Yes, I think you could share with the others your History! It would be nice and a lot of other people would enjoy reading it too...Do you know, there are many fellows here who really love this kind of history.
I contacted a long time ago, from the Mustang Association a former 325th FG veteran, but did not remember his name ( had to check out on my papers ). Yes, checkertails....beautiful machine.
I do not know how far you ventured on the net, but there is a very interesting site about JG 300, 301 and 302 at www.jg300.de. His owner is researching from a long time ago the Histories of these 3 Squadrons and is in contact with former veterans too. ( his nickname is Bobo ). Certainly there are photos of JG 301 men and machines...
Yes, I have heard that it was machine against machine...no particular feeling. It had to be that way...Fortunately for us, the new generations won´t have to face wars in a scale like that, that you fought.
Did you continue in the Air Force after the war? What was your thoughest fight? It is not everyday we talk with men like you! I am particularly honored! It is good to learn from "old eagles" like you!
May you have a nice week Art! We ( me and the other hundreds ) will be glad to hear your combat and experiences in FULL..
Friendly as ever

Adriano
