339 FG question

[Bob Henry]

I have to consult the "Brain Trust" again for this one. I ran into an individual who is looking for some info about his grandfather's plane. Ellis Hupp flew P-51's for the 339th FG based out of Fowlmere from 1944 through the end of the war. The only thing that I have found so far is that he "Ground Looped" a P-51D ( 44-14554 ) on takeoff on 3/28/45. His grandson is looking for a photo of a particular aircraft that he flew with the name "Little Jen", or some other slight variation of spelling. If a photo exists I may try to build a model for him. It is possible that it is a P-51-K model since they transitioned late in the war. If anyone can provide some insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.                   Bob H.

Third line down has the fuselage code, serial number (it's a D, not a K) and status.

Thanks guys. That is where I basically wound up. I saw his photo but no photos of his aircraft with the nose art. I will forward these links to the family.               Bob H.
