George Preddy - Top Mustang Ace

George Preddy was the top P-51 Mustang ace in World War II. He was credited with 26.83 aerial kills while flying the Mustang. This segment is from the film, A Gathering of Heroes: The Final Reunion. The 352nd Fighter Group got together for the last time in September 2000. They reminisced about their exploits, and remembered those who didn't make it home. Preddy was shot down by friendly fire on Christmas Day in 1944. His memory lives on, however, with the establishment of the Preddy Memorial Foundation. Visit the website at www.preddy-foundation.org
