P-51D N1751D owned and flown by Dr.Roger Christgau, Flew with the 9th AF (E6G) in late '44 early '45 and was awarded one confirmed victory. After the war this AC was transfered to the Swedish AF and flew with the markings Gull Kalle (Yellow K). It surprising survived that service without incident....The Swedes had a few teething problems with the P-51 and destroyed several of them.
