Description
Relic - Known History
This aluminum wing fragment comes from the iconic P-51D-20NA Mustang, serial number 44-63864, known as Twilight Tear. Flown by Lt. Hubert Davis of the 78th Fighter Group, 83rd Squadron, based out of Duxford, England, Twilight Tear played a significant role in the air campaigns over Europe during World War II. Lt. Davis, an accomplished pilot, shot down three Luftwaffe aircraft during his service: two Bf 109s and the revolutionary Me 262, the world’s first operational turbojet fighter. His victories, particularly against the Me 262, underscored the skill and determination of Allied pilots in combating advanced German aircraft technology.

The wing fragment was removed from the aircraft during its meticulous restoration by Fagen Fighters WWII Museum in 2007, where the Mustang was returned to flying status. Remarkably, Twilight Tear is one of the few restored warbirds still wearing its original wartime paint scheme, a rare and important connection to its history as a combat aircraft. The restoration not only preserved the aircraft’s original skin but also ensured that it could once again take to the skies, providing a living tribute to the pilots who flew in defense of freedom.

Fagen Fighters, known for their dedication to preserving World War II aircraft, played a crucial role in maintaining the legacy of Twilight Tear. The museum’s restoration efforts ensure that the story of Lt. Davis and his Mustang continues to inspire future generations, while organizations like Aces In Action help preserve and share these incredible pieces of aviation history.
