WWII Mustang called "Bite Me"

Sat Sep 15, 2007 12:02 pm

Capt. Alva C. Murphy of the 362nd had 6 kills and was KIA on 2 March 1945.

Looking for any photos or drawings which may show the artwork for his mustang called "Bite Me".

Anyone have anything or can point me in a good direction?

Does this help? Be sure to scroll down for the second photo.

Also note that Murphy had been transferred to the 364th by the time he went MIA.

Looks like it was a P51D-5NA that served a long time with the 357th.

Serial was 4413334 coded G4-U based on Merle Olmsted's "The 357th over Europe"

Salvaged December 1945
