Ahhhh....the Wayfarer's Club Lady. A partnership between Dave Allender and Bob Fendler. Fendler, at this point, was running the 'other half' of the team, which was an Allison powered Unlimited Hydroplane driven by Jim McCormick, while Allender and Russ Schleeh were flying the Mustang.

Sure, not a problem

Seriously, we should talk about that. There are a few "trade secrets" I keep close to the vest as far as scanning techniques and making the most out of what you got. If your collection goes back to the early days, there are surely some treasures there just waiting to be discovered.

If you are interested - just PM me and we'll talk.

Hi racefans,

does anybody have more informations about Miss A´s history from
the time before Howie Keefe bought her ?

All I could find was:

http://www.mustangsmustangs.net/p-51/survivors/pages/44-74536.shtml

and

http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/registry/p51registry/p51-4474536.html

Maybe somebody remembers, what M. Parker (TX), Donald G. Singleton
(Van Nuys, CA), David S. Allender Jr (San Aario, CA) and Robert N.
Cleaves did with the plane.

Maybe someone could add/send pictures of 44-74536 from the time
before she got her beautiful paint in the late sixties ?

Was the registration N5452V used for 2 different Mustangs, both in the
hands of Dave Allender ?
(See: http://www.mustangsmustangs.net/p-51...44-63675.shtml)

Was the first civil owner related to Alvin Parker (also Texas), who
did the first 1000-km-flight in a glider ?

Hi,

I was researching about Miss America and came across this forum. My grandfather was Donald Singleton and I have a few pictures of him with the plane. I know your 1st post was years ago... so hopefully you get this! But here are a few images of the p 51

Re: Miss America history 1958-1969 ?

Here is a picture (albeit fuzzy) of N5452V when operated by Dave Allender as #19 at Reno 1967. I don't believe it actually competed that year.

Whoa, that's CLEAN! Nice civvie paint job.
