Request For Pictures.

Hi All,
I would like to make a request for pictures of Blue Nosed (352nd FG) P-51's that I could use on my website.
I have a website dedicated to Major. George Preddy, his brother 1st/Lt. William Preddy (339th FG), and the 352nd FG.
What would be very much appreciated would be pictures of P-51's in the colours Major. Preddy's aircraft and maybe those
to represent aircraft of the 352nd & 339th FG's.
I would of course give credit for the pictures which would help give visitors to my site an idea of what these aircraft really looked
like if they were around today. I'm sure those who know, and for those who do not. We are very lucky to actually still have at
lease 1 genuine 352FG P-51 aorund today. "Miss HELEN", a P-51 which was actually flown during the war by Capt. Raymond Littge.
Who unfortunatly lost his life on May 20, 1949, near Maupin, Oregon, while enroute to participate in an air show at Coulee Dam, Washington. A faulty oxygen supply is thought to have caused the death of the 25-year old pilot.
Please...if anyone could provide me with a few picture I could put on my website I would be very greatful.
Please take a look at my site.
Major. George Earl Preddy Jr,352FG. & 1st/Lt. William Rhodes Preddy,339FG.
Many Thanks in advance.
Koczar

Re: Request For Pictures.

I have some decent shots of blue nosers from some airshows this past summer. If these are what you are looking for below, I'd be happy to let you use them. PM me.

Re: Request For Pictures.

Cheers Guys.!

Many thanks for the replies.
I hope to maybe make a new page for my site containing photo's of todays P-51's
in the colours those flown by the 352nd FG. Maybe show them along side pictures of the original
aircraft..to compare...to allow visiters to get an idea of what they looked if they were around today.
Plus, information of the pilot's who flew them.
I will of course give ALL those who contribute photo's credit for their photo's.
This I think would be a great way to bring the passed to life.
Any idea anyone has..please let me know..all are welcome.

Thank You, Blueskies!

Re: Request For Pictures.

Fantastic!...kingpin...real nice.

Aahhh..if we could only have the real thing today!.
Why this aircraft (the original) was not saved..as some of the more famous bombers were..I'll never know.
Incase you did not know..more aerial victories were scored in this P-51 (the original CAM3rd)
than any other P-51 in WW2. And as such.. being a P-51, my favourite aircraft of all time,
CAM3rd.. is my favourite aircraft of any type of any aircraft of any era...FULL STOP!

Just so you know...LOL!

Cheers!
