Warbird Information Exchange

I'm getting information ready to update my website. Currently working on pictures I took at the Dayton Airshow in 2003. There was a P-51D with the name "Lovely Lila". I failed to get the registration number and wasn't able to find it among the "airworthy" Mustangs in the Warbird Registry or in the Mustangs Mustangs list. Can anyone help ID this plane?

Also, there were several WWI planes (SE-5a, Fokker Dr.I, Fokker Dr.VII and what appears to be a FVM Tummelisa Swedish Trainer). Do these belong to a museum or group I can contact to get ID information? Does anyone on this board have ID information?

Thanks,

Jeff

Martin,

Thanks for providing the correct ID. I should've looked beyond the P-51D and K lists. Also, as I only shot the sunlit side of the plane, I totally missed the "American Beauty" name.

The Tumelisa (sp?) is owned by Mike Carlsen from Sweden who also owned the Thulin A (Bleriot XI) that was at the show.

The SE5a is registered N125QB, marked as D3540 the Fokker DVII is N1918P, marked as 6880/18. I didn't catch the triplane

I had quite a time with the Tummelisa/Tumelisa (sp??) type identification. I have several aircraft references but it wasn't in any of them. Fortunately, I found the website of a Swedish Air Museum which had a picture.

Thanks again,

Jeff
