About This Model

George E. Preddy Jr

George E. Preddy Jr. (1919–1944) was an American fighter pilot and ace of World War II. Preddy initially attempted to join the U.S. Navy but ultimately entered the Army Air Forces in 1941.

Preddy flew the P-47 Thunderbolt before transitioning to the P-51 Mustang with the 352nd Fighter Group, famously known as the “Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney.”

He achieved 26.83 aerial victories, making him the top P-51 Mustang ace of the war and one of America’s leading aces.
Preddy received numerous awards, including the Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver Star, the Distinguished Flying Cross (multiple times), the Air Medal, and the Purple Heart.

At the time of his death, Preddy held the rank of Major. He was killed by friendly anti-aircraft fire on December 25, 1944, near Liège, Belgium, while pursuing a German fighter during the Battle of the Bulge.
