P-51D 44-63733 was assigned to Major Paul W. Imig of the 72nd FS/21st FG. Paul Imig was an old-timer, having defended Canton Island with P-39's in 1942. He was then posted to Australia, where he offered to take a demotion if they gave him a combat assignment. Instead, he was given command of the 72nd FS, which he led to Iwo Jima. After three years overseas, he flew several combat missions over Japan before returning to the US. His aircraft was named after the woman who was to become his wife, and went on to fly 26 VLR missions with just one abort, thus compiling the best service record in the squadron.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.
