This is a re-edit of some home movies taken of the 487th Fighter Squadron, 352nd Fighter Group during the Summer of 1944. Watch for George Preddy at 2:01 and his "Cripes a Mighty 3rd" at 2:11. The shark-mouthed P-51 was assigned to Capt. John "Muscles" Bennett.

  • Great video.  Thank you.

  • Thank you for this video, I never expected to see film footage of Bodney in action, brilliant.

  • In memory of my grandpa, Lt. Charles "Chuck" Owens, pilot of PE-G 414084 "Tesseroo", 328th FS, 352nd FG. Went on to a successful Air Force career through the '70s. I never knew him but he has inspired me to pursue an AF career myself. God bless these great men, one and all.

  • @danaganooc Greatness!!

  • My grandfather was actually an armorer in this squadron, I have a picture of him with the Cripes a Mighty.

  • Thanks for Posting!... HERO'S all of them!

  • I'm good friends with Punchy Powell of the 328th FS of the 352nd FG, and Don Bryan as well. They are truely amazing heroes. I'm proud to be a member of the 352nd FG Association. I believe these videos were shot by Jim Bleidner who was the armorer for Lt. Col. J.C. Meyers. He sent my brother and me a disc of some home movies he did at Bodney. It's great to know them, and be able to shake their hands and say "Thanks, for serving your country!"

  • Incredible footage, thanks!

  • Gerorge Preddy is the highest scoring P-51 ace in World War II, with 26.83 enemy air-to-air kills. He was born in my hometown of Greensboro, NC.

  • Was Col.John Meyers "Petie 2nd"..then passed onto Lt.Sheldon Heyer and became "Sweetie Face". Also served with the 361st FG and ended up in crashing landing.
