Summary

Description
English: A P-51D-5-NA Mustang (MX-A, serial number 44-13464), flown by Major Sam Brown of the 307th Fighter Squadron, 31st Fighter Group, 15th Air Force. Photograph probably taken between 14 July 1943 and 20 September 1943 at Sicily, or between 21 September 1943 and 5 August 1945 at different Italy Airfields. The 31st Fighter Group was reactivated at AAF Station Giebelstadt (south of Würzburg/Germany) 20 August 1946 with circa 30 new Lockheed P-80A Shooting Stars and some P-51Ds of the deactivated 55th Fighter Group. On September 25, 1946, he was transferred to AAF Station Kitzingen (Lower Franconia, Bavaria, Germany), and by the end of October 1947 he had left Kitzingen again for the USA.
Deutsch: North American P-51D-5-NA Mustang (MX-A, serial number s/n 44-13464), geflogen von Major Sam Brown, 307th Fighter Squadron, 31st Fighter Group, 15th Air Force. Das Foto ist wahrscheinlich entstanden während der Einsätze & Stationierungen der 31st FG vom 14. Juli bis 20. September 1943 auf Sizilen, oder vom 21. September 1943 - über das Kriegsende vom 8. Mai 45 hinaus - bis 5. August 1945 auf verschiedenen Flugplätzen auf dem italienischen Festland. Die 31st Fighter Group wurde am 7. November 1945 in Florida/USA zunächst deaktiviert, dann aber in AAF Station Giebelstadt (südl. von Würzburg, Unterfranken, Bayern) am 20. August 1946 wieder aktiviert. Die 307th FS wurde mit ca. 30 neuen Lockheed P-80A Shooting Stars neu aufgestellt, zusätzlich übernahm die Staffel mehrere P-51D Mustangs von der simultan in Giebelstadt aufgelösten 55th Fighter Group. Am 25. September 1946 wurde nach AAF Station Kitzingen (Unterfranken, Bayern) verlegt, am 19. Februar 1947 ergänzte man aufgrund der ausschließlichen Nutzung des Lockheed P-80A Jets die Staffelbezeichnung um "Jet Propelled", also: 307th Fighter Squadron, Jet Propelled. AAF Station Kitzingen wurde bis Ende Oktober 1947 wieder in Richtung USA verlassen.
