William Bruce "Bill" Overstreet Jnr. (April 10, 1921 – December 29, 2013) was an American fighter pilot and a veteran of the 357th Fighter Group, 363rd Fighter Squadron of the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. He is best known for his solo pursuit of a German Messerschmitt Bf 109G underneath the arches of the Eiffel Tower in 1944

In the spring of 1944, Bill Overstreet and his P51B Mustang, the 'Berlin Express', were near Paris when the action started, immortalised in the artwork by Len Krenzler. Overstreet had followed a Bf109 from the enemy fighter sortie on the US bomber group he was escorting. After most of the German fighters had broken off the attack, Overstreet and the German had begun a running dogfight, but as they neared Paris the Bf109 pilot had Overstreet on his tail. With the German pilot's desperation undoubtedly growing, he aimed his plane at the Eiffel Tower and in a surprising maneuver, flew beneath it. Undeterred, Overstreet followed right behind him scoring several hits which caused the Bf109 to crash.

The P51 Mustang is one of the most iconic US fighters of WW II. The P51B was an early P51 Model and could be known as a P51B or P51C depending on where the plane was assembled. If you own a P51D Mustang then add its forerunner to your squadron today! The distinct canopy and razorback will turn heads wherever you fly!
