Re: Lt Richard "Spider" Smith - P-51 bail out - 1 April 1945
Hi Leendert. Is this the article (from his old Bomb Group newsletter, Dick sent it to me in 2000 when I did a picture of 5E-E; he couldn't remember the other Mustang serial or code, probably because it wasn't his assigned plane. He was lucky as he hit the tail. He sent some nice photos of his flying models, he was a great RC enthusiast. He lived in Hemet CA at the time. He flew 35 with the 303BG, 10 as lead pilot .
He retired in 1952 and died in April 2012. He was very helpfull in describing markings etc. Regards Nick Last edited by Buckeye30; 27th June 2020 at 16:01.
