Hobby Master 1/48 P-51D Mustang "Bad Angel" flown by Lt. Louis E. Curdes 4th FS 3rd ACG Laoag 1945 Diecast Model Aircraft

On February 10, 1945 four P-51s with Louis Curdes’ “Bad Angel” and Schmidtke along with LaCroix and Scalley, were returning from an escort mission.

LaCroix and Scalley flew over a small Japanese airstrip and began to attack but LaCroix was shot down and landed in the ocean and survived.

Curdes circled the down pilot when he spotted a C-47 heading for the same island and fate.

To keep that from happening Curdes shot the C-47 down.

It landed on the water and all passengers survived.

Curdes later married a nurse that was on the C-47.
