Anyone have any photos of P-51B 43-6696 coded VF-F, flew with the 4th Fighter Group, was flown once by Don Gentile, on 28, Feb 1944, lost on 3/29/44.

Thx

Let me look around. I once saw a painting of that aircraft. I will keep looking.

Capt. Kenneth Peterson was shot down by an Fw 190 in a big air battle the 4th and 355th were engaged in around Brunswick. He bailed out about 1320 and spent the rest of the war as POW.

Got DSC for single handedly taking on 20+ Fws attacking B-17s

Picture of VF-F and Peterson following pg 82 section of photos in Escort to Berlin
