F-6 Mustang of the 15th TRS at St. Dizler Airfield, Autumn 1944.[1] This aircraft was flown by Captain John H. Hoefker, who used it to shoot down three enemy aircraft in June 1944. Captain Hoefker became the 10th PRG's first Ace, with credits of 8½ air victories, although he actually (unofficially) shot down 10.5 enemy aircraft. This Mustang survived the war only to be scrapped on 26 June 1946.
