This aircraft (P-51D-20-NA, USAAF Ser. No. 44-63869) would have a tragically interesting fate. As per the Joe Baugher site: www.joebaugher.com/usaf_serials/1944_4.html [C]rashed near Franklin, KY Jan 7, 1948 during attempted intercept of UFO. Pilot Capt Thomas Mantell killed. This incident is legendary in the folklore of UFOs and flying saucers. The usual explanation was that Capt. Mantell was trying to reach a Skyhood balloon (which was highly secret at the time) and lost consciousness due to a failure of his oxygen system and crashed.
