Sixth On The Sixth
"Sixth On The Sixth" is a limited edition print depicting Major George Preddy in his famous P-51, "Cripes A' Mighty 3rd", as he claims his
6th and final kill of the day on August 6th, 1944. With this victory George Preddy set a U.S. Armed Forces record of six victories
in one mission. Aside from this distinction, Preddy had among his career highlights 27.5 aerial victories and 5 ground
victories. To this day he is the sixth ranking Air Force ace and the eighth ranking American ace.
"I am the artist who created this image, and I worked closely with Major Preddy's cousin
and biographer Joe Noah during its creation to ensure accuracy." - Russell Smith
