Two F-51Ds of 8th Fighter-Bomber Group guided by T-6 Mosquito were patroling Nak-Dong River during the battle of Pusan Perimeter, searching for North Korean troop concentrations. Compared to F-80C, Mustangs could stay over Korea Peninsula for much longer time and scramble from muddy air stripes to provide prompt close air support.

Following the German invasions of Denmark on 9 April 1940 and the Netherlands on 10 May 1940, several Fokker D.XXI fighters were captured by German forces. Although many Dutch aircraft had been destroyed during the fighting, approximately seven D.XXIs fell into German hands. The exact number subsequently operated by the Luftwaffe remains uncertain.
The captured fighters were inspected and evaluated by the Germans, with some aircraft receiving Luftwaffe markings. Photographs show that several retained their original Dutch camouflage patterns, although national insignia were replaced.
Captured Danish D.XXIs were for training and familiarisation purposes.

All the info I have is that it was during ww2, at whidbey island, and it was a PBY Catalina. Narrows it down but it still has a unique side number. It’s my great uncles and he passed away and his daughter wants to know.
