Hi Martin,
Say the thread over on Wix about the guy trying to find information on
44-64162 this is what I have,
P-51H-1-NA
c/n 126-37588
Most likely assigned to the 57th Fighter Group that had the following
Squadrons,
64th 65th and 66th 65th was assign to Ladd while the 64th and 66th were
first assign to Shemya then move to Elmendorf. Also the 63rd had H
model and were assign to Nome in 1948. All H model were transferred out
of Alaska by late 1949 so the accident had to happen between 1947 and
1949. As for my records it show the plane going down 15 miles North
East of Nome but I don't have it listed as a Cat A accident. My guess
that plane was either assign to the 63rd or the 65th and might have
been recovered if it landed on the ice.
You might want to ask the guy to see if he can get from Maxwell the Cat
A records for Alaska for the time period between 1947-49.
Hope this help the guy
Cheers
Rob
