On June 6, 1944, D-Day, Wisner‘s P-51 “Queen Elizabeth” was hit by flak and crash landed. Wisner evaded capture and was saved by Canadian forces. He had a total of 15.5 victories. The P-51 was later restored, with some Israeli P-51 parts, and eventually ended up as “Princess Elizabeth” again and in 2007 it joined “The Gathering of Mustangs & Legends”.
The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was a single-seat World War II fighter aircraft. First flown on October 26, 1940, the P-51 was designed and built in just 117 days. 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.
