Found this IG and Youtube channel that featured some guncam footage of one of the highest scoring P-51 aces of WWII. Guy named William Whisner (ETA: from Shreveport). Figured someone on here probably knew him/his family and would find it interesting.

Odd the 190's didn't drop their external fuel tanks.

Cool video, but the overdubbed gun sounds bugged me. The P51 gun cam was originally 16mm film without sound.

Bad arse! I have been enjoying military history recently. It is fascinating learning about the men who fought for our country and their backgrounds. Thanks for sharing!

Great story, thanks! Sadly he died from a yellow jacket sting at age 65 in Alexandria according to the Wiki article.

Um, he only had 14.5 air to air - making him 17th on the list (of P-51, and much lower on total)

Did Whisner see some action in Korea, too?
