Captain Gentile compiled 28 “kills” of which 15½ came while piloting his P-51B Mustang “Shangri-La”. The Mustang was the most successful fighter in history with over 15,500 built for the U.S. and its Allies. Starting out as a project for the R.A.F. in 1940, the Mustang went from design to flown in an incredibly short 117 days. Unfortunately Capt. Gentile's Shangri-La had an disastrous ending. While exhibiting its fire power to reporters, Gentile landed badly and the plane was destroyed.
