UPL 16295
IMAGECaptain Donald S. Bryan's ground crew stand alongside his second assigned aircraft, the P-51B, serial number, 43-6894. Like all of Bryan's aircraft it was coded PE-B and named, Little One, after his petite wife. The aircraft's name and D-Day recognition stripes were, likely, removed after the plane was declared "war weary" and removed from combat status.
