He was assigned to lead the 361st Squadron in October 1944 and continues in that role for the remainder of the war. During World War II, he flew 122 missions and earned 13 1/2 kills (including 71/2 Messerschmitt Bf 109s), earning distinction as one of two National Guard pilots to achieve ace status.

About the P-51:  The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was a long-range single-seat World War II fighter aircraft. Designed and built in just 117 days, the Mustang first flew in Royal Air Force (RAF) service as a fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft before conversion to a bomber escort, employed in raids over Germany, helping ensure Allied air superiority from early 1944.The P-51 was in service with Allied air forces in Europe and also saw limited service against the Japanese in the Pacific War. The Mustang began the Korean War as the United Nations' main fighter, but was relegated to a ground attack role when superseded by jet fighters early in the conflict. Nevertheless, it remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s
