Reeves was assigned another P-51. Sometime during the time that 42-106908 was flown by Reeves he had named the aircraft “My Dallas Darlin”.

It flew most of its missions as a bomber escort in raids over Germany, helping ensure Allied air superiority from 1944. As well as being economical to produce, the P-51 was a fast and durable aircraft.
