Waltz41 Posted January 10, 2013 Share #28 Posted January 10, 2013 Just jaw dropping! Thanks for putting up these photos. That log book is great, very interesting reading for sure. That gun camera footage roll is unique too. This one has me super jealous haha!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDK Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share #32 Posted January 13, 2013 Fantastic group. Where do you find stuff like this ?? Any chance of seeing the photos made from the negatives ? And a photo of the wedding ? Haha! I normally like to try and find my own stuff, but this was just to good to pass up! I will see about getting those extra photos on here soon!

JDK Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share #33 Posted August 14, 2013 I'm happy to note that I just recently reunited his A-2 to this grouping. The arms are not in the best shape but it belongs with all the rest of his items and the painting along with my photos of him wearing it make it pretty darn cool!

38Driver Posted August 14, 2013 Share #37 Posted August 14, 2013 Absolutely amazing. Thanks for the update. Glad you've gotten more of that group together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebuddy Posted August 14, 2013 Share #38 Posted August 14, 2013 Wearing A-2 these 2 photo's are so cool !! the whole grouping is somthing lesser mortals can only dream of !! thanks for sharing JD ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted August 14, 2013 Share #39 Posted August 14, 2013 Makes you wonder how this and other A2s manage to get so beat up! I presume it's because they were worn...possibly as work-wear...for years after the war? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History Man Posted August 14, 2013 Share #41 Posted August 14, 2013 Top notch group JD, the completeness of it is stunning...as is the A2 jacket you were able to reunite! Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted August 14, 2013 Share #42 Posted August 14, 2013 Great work on the A2 JD. I sure hope as time went by the seller became more reasonable. As far as the damage is concerned it looks better now than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDK Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share #43 Posted August 14, 2013 Thanks guys. I was pretty happy to add it. M, I got it for not much more than he paid for it. He admitted that it belonged with the rest of his items and decided to give it up. I am glad he did and he was kind enough to give it up for a good price.

MAW Posted August 15, 2013 Share #44 Posted August 15, 2013 Excellent group, and good job putting it back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltz41 Posted August 22, 2013 Share #45 Posted August 22, 2013 OH MY GOD!! Wow....that is so cool you got the A-2 back with it. Congrats on that. I love this grouping, think it's my favorite that I've seen on here. A true classic P-51 fighter pilot's grouping that has got it all. Glad you got back together, and thanks for sharing. This is truly a 'I'd give an arm and a leg and maybe another leg' for!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDK Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share #46 Posted August 22, 2013 Thanks again guys. Walt, Thanks for your compliments. It's one of my favorite groups as well. There's just tons of items to enjoy. The A-2 is a little rough, but it was his and saw plenty of action. Watching his gun camera footage is pretty neat as well! Thanks again.

Waltz41 Posted May 1, 2014 Share #48 Posted May 1, 2014 I love those photos!!! Glad to see them again! Classic 8th AF P-51 shots. Well.... I mean the whole darn grouping ain't so bad either One of my all-time favorite groupings on here!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC50 Posted August 27, 2015 Share #49 Posted August 27, 2015 Hi - I'm new to this forum and was led here by this great grouping. Would JDK be able to PM me or someone put me in touch with them? I'm a student of the 353rd and want to ask a couple of specific questions about Pletz. Many thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
