Jack,
You may already have your copy since you contributed to it, but I just got an email notification that my pre-ordered copy is on the way. Yippee! Can't wait to see it.

While you're going through it would you please look for my uncles P51D. He was Woodfin Sullivan AKA "Sully". He flew FT*R. 354FG,353FS. The name of the plane he told me was "Brazier (sp) de Mort", "kiss of death" in French. But Jack had a post back in Nov. about a plane in this group called "Little Horse" in French. That post stated that the interpeter played a fast one on Sully and the plane actually was painted "Kiss My A**" in French. 
If there is a picture of him or the plane I would purchase the book. Thank you, Hugh

Another question for the 354fg 353fs. When they were flying P47s after D-Day did the pilots have the same plane code i.e. FT*R as their P51s. Thank you, Hugh

Just got this book and it is well done.
Only thing I was disapointed in was no photo of Glen Eagleston's P-51B's but had Turner's and other's.
Jack Cook's photo's were all threw it.
Sorry no Woodfin Sullivan photo's but he is written about on 6 pages for claims he made.
FT-R 413585 "Baiser de Mort" is in the a/c list.

OOps, forgot to answer the code letter change from P-51 to P-47.
I didn't go through all of them but seem's like the stayed the same with some changes.
