The shot of Capt. Whisner is a PR shot for the mission of Nov. 21 '44 when he claimed to have scored 6 kills. Final assestment of his gun camera footage revealed that he had actually gotten 5.

Thanks Cote. I appreciate you taking the time to find Capt. Whisner's story.

It was 15.5, but I checked the site where Cote found the story and they list it as 155.

Hey, I think actor Matt Dillon looks like a ringer for Whisner...
Hello Hollywood Bigshots!...time for another WWII flick!

Even Spielberg paid homage to the Mustang in "Empire of The Sun" and (with historical
inaccuracy) in "Saving Private Ryan".
