Spitfire MkIX USAAF 12AF 31FG309FS WZ  MM Cpt Harry Barr named Skipper Italy Dec 1943 profile by Eduard 0A

Info Eduard: The 31st Fighter Group became the first United States Army Air Forces unit to engage in combat outside England from August 1942. Late that year, the group transferred from England to North Africa, where its 309th Fighter Squadron operated Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX fighters. Among its pilots was Harry Barr, who flew a personal Spitfire named Skipper and scored two victories, destroying a Messerschmitt Bf 109 and a Focke-Wulf Fw 190. When the 31st Fighter Group converted to the North American P-51 Mustang in the spring of 1944, many of its pilots disliked the change. Having completed 98 combat missions, Barr had earned rotation back to the United States, where he spent the remainder of the war training Republic P-47 Thunderbolt pilots as an instructor.
