"About 30 miles southeast of Linz, Austria, an early model Mustang (P-51B or C) painted olive drab, made an attack out of the clouds on several 95th P-38s after tailing them for some time...Coulson finally made fired one short burst...and saw strikes on its canopy and engine. The Mustang rolled over,went straight down and crashed into a mountain...The Mustang had no national insignia, nor a red spinner,which identified the 15th AF P-51s."

This is very interesting story, hope more info will be available one day
