- Brigadier General Charles Elwood Yeager was a United States Air Force officer, flying ace, and record-setting test pilot who in October 1947 became the first pilot in history confirmed to have exceeded the speed of sound in level flight. Most of his aerial victories were as a P-51 Mustang fighter pilot on the Western Front, where he was credited with shooting down 11.5 enemy aircraft. On October 12, 1944, he attained "ace in a day" status, shooting down five enemy aircraft in one mission.
Yeager is referred to by many as one of the greatest pilots of all time. Throughout his life, he flew more than 360 different types of aircraft over a 70-year period and continued to fly for two decades after retirement as a consultant pilot for the United States Air Force.
Seen here is the North American P-51D Mustang from USAAF, 357th Fighter Group, 363rd Fighter Squadron, "Gentleman Jim" , as flown by Jim Browning in 1:72nd scale diecast by Corgi. It's a pretty cool model of this World War 2 aircraft with the additional engine detail making a great feature to the model.

Nice collectable of a legendary pilot and his plane
Yes its pretty tidy, I'm still a little curious about the shine on the cowl. Normally its a satin to avoid the glare. Thanks for watching!!
beautiful legendary plane
Yes the mustang is a sleek bird for sure!!
Belo Mustang👏
Yes another beautiful Mustang!!! Thank you for dropping past!!
I'm not the biggest fan of Corgi models, but that one was pretty nice. Thanks for another good one. 🤠👍
Yes Corgi I have been noticing can do really good models, and then really bad ones. They are loosing a little consistency for some reason. Although I am buying models made at various times from them. Some models I buy can be upto 20 years old and some brand new. Thanks for watching!!
Great video review as always
Thanks for dropping past!! 🙂
The 56th Fighter Group were known to have larger than normal size national markings on their P47s, and also a marking underneath both wings and not just the starboard one so this too could be something of the same group or pilot preference. The absence of D Day markings above the wing and below and just underneath the fuselage could date this scheme as after August 1944. Anyhoo missed this one along the way.
Ah ok well that explains it. To be honest I am not as well versed in the allied side of things as I am with Luftwaffe, even though I have more allied aircraft videos,haha what the hell am I doing!!! Corgi even got the box description wrong, on the box cover its says 363rd Fighter Group instead of Squadron!! 😂. There's is always eBay to find one mate, that's how I get half my models,haha. Thanks for dropping past!!!
@@heavymetaldiecast Dragon did this one back in the day. Rare as hen's teeth now!
Chuck’s biography is interesting and good but damn he sounded a bit arrogant in my opinion , basic overview of his bio…."I was damn good and I knew it” the end. It’s still a good read but he seemed a bit much for me
Haha I could imagine he would have a touch of arrogance every now and then. If he was in Top Gun the movie he would play Maverick. But I reckon he would have been pretty humble too. I watched the interview where I got my little snippet for the intro and he seemed fairly down to earth when talking. The problem with books also is you dont know what the editors change too. They might say "Hey spice this part up abit" but I haven't read his book. Sound interesting though. Thanks for dropping past!!!
