Dear members,
This time a question...:
Researching a 1944 Mustang crash in Germany (wingfailure) the translated copy of the German Final Report of Enemy AF Equipment and Enemy Air Crews states:
Metal propeller: Blades 4; Type Hamilton Standard, DRG A 6523 A-24.
As the Germans found 4 .50 cal machineguns I wonder if this prop belonged to a B/C ?
The serial # for this particular Mustang however refers to a P-51D-5-NA.....(44-13735).
Regards,
Paul

just a thought here Paul but if the AC suffered wing failure, maybe they only recovered 4 guns because the other 4 were in the missing wing and not part of the crash site?

This was posted on another forum:
According to the aircraft type certificaste data sheet, these blades can be used on P-51B, C & D:
J6523A-24
J6487A-24
K6523A-24
J6487A-24
6547A-6
The J & K numbers refer to the blade shank fairing design. I suspect one may be a cuffed blade and the other is not. The A may have been an earlier (now obsolete) blade shank design. The -24 refers (indirectly) to the prop diameter which is correct for a Merlin Mustang.

sorry Paul, a typo. i meant the missing 2 guns, not 4. :oops:
i just thought perhaps if the wing failed, some of the guns could have fallen out when the wing broke up.

Just kidding Roy ! :cool:
44-13735 was a D in fact....
Still we have a puzzle here as according to a German report an engine cowling panel with text 'Toolin'Fool' was found....
357th FG Walter Perry was KIA in Dec 44 due to wingfailure also while probably flying a 'Toonlin'Fool (s Revenge).....However Jim Anderson and Peter Randall give different serials for his ship...Still working on that !
Regards,
Paul
