P-51 "Gentleman Jim" Low Top Canvas Shoes
Did You Know?
This design is based on the P-51 Mustang (B6-P, serial number 44-14937) nicknamed “Gentleman Jim” flown by Captain James “Jim” Browning of the 363rd Fighter Squadron, 357th Fighter Group.
Captain Browning christened his P-51 as 'Gentleman Jim,' a moniker perfectly suited to his amiable yet nature. Possessing an unwavering resolve, he honed his flying prowess to exceptional levels. Bud Anderson, reflecting on their camaraderie, remarked, " He could always be depended upon to be there when you needed him. We were great friends.”
Concluding his initial tour in August 1944, Browning briefly returned home before resuming duty with the 357th in November for a second tour. Tragically, on February 9, 1945, Jim Browning was declared Missing in Action following his failure to return from an escort mission. Engaging with Me-262 jet fighters, he was involved in a mid-air collision, leading to his death. He had attained the status of ace with a total of 7 air to air kills.
