Hello Steve, as Jack noted Dad's airplane was B3-E. He flew with the 381st fighter squadron of the 363rd.

I somehow stumbled upon this site. The P-51 pictured, A9A tail number 413309, Fools Paradise IV was my Dad's plane. It was one of a series; Fools Paradise I and II were P-39s flown out of Hamilton Field in Marin County California. My Dad, Evan M "Mac" McCall, was the squadron commander in the States and later in England. He had a really interesting career, as he was later attached to Patton's 3rd Armored Division as a jeep-mounted Foward Air Controller on the ground in France until shortly before the Battle of the Bulge. I have seen some old newsreel films of him on that jeep. But he was first and foremost a Fighter Pilot. He had seat-of-the-pants experience with all of the American and British fighters, having flown all of them, and had many comments on the German fighters against whom he flew in combat.
