P-51B 354th FG - "Ding Hao" from the Franklin Mint

Factory Sealed!  Brand New!  Mint in Box!

Aerial combat during WWII was fought by ordinary men, performing extraordinary deeds. James Howard would argue that he was simply doing his job, but the bomber crews he defended on 11th January 1944 witnessed a hero at work! Ferocious dogfights left Howard alone with a large number of vulnerable B-17 ‘Flying Fortresses’. Over 50 enemy fighters circled for the kill, but Howard repeatedly attacked them, repelling wave after wave of determined attacks. He showed little regard for his own safety in the face of overwhelming odds. Bomber crews reported that they witnessed 6 enemy fighters fall to the guns of Howard’s Mustang, however the modest Howard did not report anything unusual on his return to base. Howard was to receive his nations highest award for valour, the Congressional Medal of Honour!
