Sorry for the confusion here. I was confusing Mr. Beck with Mr. Gabe. Gabe's airplane is, of course, "Polar Bear". The question is still a valid one however.
: Just how much of Mr. Beck's Mustang came off the mountain?
: I know that Spillers used a D wing, a modified D fuselag
: e, used a brand new canopy still in its crate, and got all
: his cowlings from another source. (John Paul?) So, other
: than the manufacturers plate what else from the recovered
: wreckage was incorporated? Just my .02 cents, it is a be
: autiful airplane but not a P-51A.
