I got this recently and thought I’d share to some tag collectors. Very humbled to have this small group.

 

Veteran served as a P-51 Mustang Pilot with the 486th Fighter Squadron. He is credited with 5 aerial victories over Europe.

 

I understand the tag was a bit sloppily done with an odd format among other things. But it doesn’t matter to me as it was still his tag. I’m just guessing it was a pretty late war tag.

Another gem, Connor! You've got a real nose for the best. As for the odd format, I think it gives it some unique flavor ?

 

Is the pilot the man to viewer's left of the photo?

That is a perfect photo! Man, he really looks the part, doesn't he? Crusher cap, white scarf, and worm A-2. Absolutely fantastic

Very nice.

 

Looks like he flew P-51D 44-13929 squadron code PZ-O , named 'Lil Marjie'.

 

Didn't see anything with a quick search online, maybe one of the Blue Noser history books would have a picture. Good luck!

Very nice little grouping. Congrats.

Any idea what the letters "B A" stand for?

Blood Type A. This is what leads me to believe it is a late War/early post war tag, but no way of knowing for sure.
