From littlefriends.co.uk: Lt Col. William B Bailey. 352nd Fighter Squadron. P-51D 44-14303 SX-B "Double Trouble". This a/c was lost on 3 February 1945 when Maj. Leslie W Seppala became a POW, being replaced by "Double Trouble Two", the better known of the two a/c thanks to the "warbird" scene and the Smithsonian!
