On the evening of Christmas Day 1944, Major George Earl ‘Ratsy’ Preddy Jr. led a flight of 10 P-51 Mustangs of 328th Fighter Squadron, 352nd Fighter Group on a patrol over Bonn, Germany. After being directed towards Liège, Belgium, Preddy pursued a lone Fw 190 D-9 at ground level to the SE of Aachen. Preddy was observed to fire on the Fw 190 before US anti-aircraft gunners began firing at Preddy's fighter. He was last seen in a shallow inverted dive as he bailed out and hit the ground.
