Difficult to photograph clearly, given its suspended position in the crowded American Air Museum at Duxford. The original "Etta Jeanne II" was a P-51K variant (with an Aeroproducts propeller in place of the P-51D's Hamilton Standard one), which was lost when it ditched in the North Sea on 29 December 1944. The pilot, Capt. Huie H. Lamb, Jr., survived and was, fortunately, picked up from the frigid waters by an RAF Walrus amphibian.
