Um, he only had 14.5 air to air - making him 17th on the list (of P-51, and much lower on total)
Where can I find this type of info?
I had an uncle who flew P-51s in the Air Force, and am curious about his career.
I was always trying to get info from him, but like a lot of WWII vets, he just didn't want to talk about it much.
I do know he went down behind German lines twice, and was rescued by the French Underground both times.

An uncle of mine (dad's younger brother) flew a P-38 and then at the very end of WWII had switched to P-51. He had no air to air combat. His unit was 100% shooting up supply lines. The unit was always stationed forward and had just relocated right before the Battle of the Bulge. Quarters were tents with muddy floors.
