3. P-51 Mustang
Billie was a highly awarded soldier and during his time in the military flew a P-51 Mustang over the British Channel daily. He had completed over 100 missions and therefore was given permission to go home. Sadly, when the time came, he was told he would have to wait weeks for the next available ship. So he continued to fly missions until then but, unfortunately, his plane was shot down near the town of Les Ventes, in northern France.
