Landers was a very good pilot. Not every Ace in WW2 could say he had 5 kills in the Pacific and European Theaters. Landers could make that claim. His last P-51 BBD was a beauty though and thats why its the most replicated Mustang in model form and its also one of the best known P-51's all over the world.
