By the way, B-U-TEE-FUL job. The hangar is more impressive than the plane.

Co. Landers had one of the prettiest Mustangs of the war but his scoreboard always confused me. It shows 36.5 or 37 kills but his officeal rally was 34.5.
Landers finished the war with 14.5 air victories, plus 20 ground victories.
Oh well, he was a true ace regardless.
