The US Pilot with an American Kill Marking...

Description
It has long been a tradition amongst fighter pilots to display their prowess in the air with markings on their aircraft denoting their victories over enemy planes. Often these markings have taken the form of flags representing the country of which their defeated opponent hailed from. A prime example of this would be a North American P-51D Mustang flown by 1st Lieutenant Curdes. Having served in both theatres of the war where he proved himself supremely skilled in the art of air warfare, Curdes’ aircraft displayed seven German Swastikas, a single Italian roundel, a Japanese Hinomaru and strangely, one US flag. This is the incredible true story of how one US pilot deliberately shot down an American C-47 Skytrain transport in order to save the lives of all of those onboard.
