North American P-51 D Mustang

"Detroit Miss", flown by First Lieutenant Urban L. Drew, in which he scored six aerial victories and one strafing kill in a single tour of duty. On October 7, 1944, Lieutenant Drew became the first Allied pilot to shoot down two Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe aircraft. This feat earned him a much belated Air Force Cross, awarded on May 12, 1983. He is one of only two men to receive the Air Force Cross for actions performed during World War II.
