Maj. George Preddy of the 352nd Fighter Group, a top AAF ace credited with 26.83 air-to-air victories and five planes destroyed by strafing, shot down six of his victims in a single mission on Aug. 6, 1944. He was killed on Christmas Day 1944 while flying at tree-top level inside American lines over Europe; his P-51, "Cripes A'Mighty," was mistaken for an enemy plane and was shot down by U.S. antiaircraft gunners. |
