Great photos thanks for sharing !

Thanks to all for taking time to share these fine photos… wishing I were at Duxford today… stuck here at work but my thought are there for sure ! Great in flight shot of that Me-109 & FW 190 ….. only better if attacked by P-51’s of the 352nd Fighter Group ………. The BlueNoser’s………. any BlueNose 51’s present today at Duxford ? Perhaps in spirit…….. I understand some of my countrymen were there today and hope some of you got to meet a few 506th E Company 101st Airborne WW II veterans present for a print & book signing !
Thanks to all for sharing these great photos and look for more photos in the days ahead on this fine forum ! No place like Duxford for sure !

All The Best !

Adrian if I understand you question to me !

Adrian :

If I understand your question to me..with regard to the type of matting the Folwmere Mustangs are parked on ? At first I thought it might be the material we called ” Marston Matts”… named after a small town in the state of North Carolina near Ft Bragg. Like steel planking… you still find them around here all the time. Guess after the war the US military sold them to the civilian market. The stuff is found all over the world ..where US forces fought !
But on closer look..its does not look like the matts I have seen before ! Might be and English product used by the 339th FG during the war !

Thanks !

here is an explination of the Marston Matt !

Tar Heel 339th FG during WW II !

Thought I would add a few more from some shots Col Starnes gave me on his P-51 in England during the war ! Two nice shots of ” Tar Heel” on the ground..with one showing Capt Starnes covering his bird on the flight line. Here a French officer I beleive awards the good Captian with a medal from the French Govt for his exploits with the 339th ! Darn good stuff in my book ! I have been to the former field that the 339th flew from and the local folks in the village were so kind to me… saw the Old Checkers Pub there were the pilots visited for a little liquid refreshemnt between missions in the village as well…great people in the Fowlmere !!! BlueNoser352 offers a salute to the fine folks who reside there and thanks for taking care of this Yank on his visit !

Another fine Tar Heel P-51 Mustang Ace !

Got to always when speaking of the P-51 Mustang on this fine forum…. an honor to know this fine man personally. Here is then Capt James R Starnes P-51 ace ” Tar Heel” at Fowlmere…home of the 339th FG 8th USAAF. Colonel Starnes went on to fly F-4’s in Vietnam and retired a Colonel in the USAF ! Great looking color shot from WW II !

Dan:

Good recall on the book ..just could not remember this title this am as I was trying to recall it. I have seen some old color film shot in the 1950’s at the WVA airbase..believe someone had it at a Eighth AF reunion. Nice mention of Ed Heller being in the group… for sure a ledgen with the 352nd durnig his day at Bodney ! Hope all is well in your world Dan !

Thanks for the correct information here !

Your welcome lindoug !

Glad to help and anything to help the cause on the subject of The P-51… good luck on the research. You live in a beautiful part of the world in France.
I know that back in the summer of 1944……….. those beauties did a job on the retreating Germans as they tried to escape the pincers of Patton’s Third Army !

Good Luck on your research !
