Ok, here's an obscure one: I am looking for more info on a P-51C that operated with the 350th FS, 353rd FG, s/n 2106751WW. The squadron identification is LH. This P-51 was a radio countermeasures aircraft with the squadron (hence, I believe, the WW standing for Wild Weasel...if so that term is alot older than most think). Any help would be appreciated.
T.A. go here to their forums and ask. the web-site owner has done up the ultimate reference on the group and your information should be enclosed therin .... www.353rd.com
good, hopeful the author will be quick to respond to your request ........ I want to say their was a 354th fg Stang named Wild Weasel also
North American P-51B-15-NA Mustang Serial 42-106751 Converted to 2 seater for use by 352FG. There were a few others from that block converted to 2 seaters. From Joe Baughers fantastic list of US Aircraft Serials

Thanks, that gave a bit more information. It is listed as LH - L with the WW standing for "war weary." It is listed as a squadron hack aircraft but, I have a photo showing it was used for radio countermeasures carrying perfectos II.
TA Check out Baughers website, He lists 42-106755 as being attached to 36BS, a radio countermeasures unit. What model P-51 is it, a B or C? (They are identical arent they?) Marne's listing are for P-51D's so they may have continued when they changed models. http://home.att.net/~jbaugher/usafserials.html [ 01. July 2006, 07:54 PM: Message edited by: Ali Morshead ]
Neat site Ali. I noticed that about 106755. But, I have a photo showing 106751 equipped with Perfectos II. The antennas sprouting from the wings and fuselage are too obvious to miss. The aircraft is still marked LH - L so....
