Thanks Jack!

[Mudge]

Holy crap...Was Baseler really that big or is that a trick of the camera?

Mudge the amazed

He was 6-3 I believe. A tall drink of water
Very nice man and modest concerning his achievements!

[Jerry O'Neill]

Love the Checkertail stuff Jack!
Thanks!
My Uncle was a pilot in the 325th. Unfortunately, KIA on 9.15.44 flying a mission over Athens, Greece.

Was "Funnyface" also Parker's aircraft or just a convenient back drop when the pic was taken? Are "Funnyface" and "57" the same plane? Don't see the name on other pics of "57".

"Funnyface" is a P-51B ,small panel behind the
exhaust pipes was on the "B" model only.
Might be an earlier P-51 of his or as you said
a convenient back drop when the pic was taken.
Thanks for posting Jack.

OK...That calls for another "Holy Crap" Was everyone else in the photo 5'2" and smaller. I know they weren't very big back then, but they can't all have been so short.
