Programs

Nov. 20          A native North Carolinian, George Preddy, was the top P-51
Mustang ace 

                        of World War II.  He shot down 27 enemy planes, five
in one dogfight. The 

                        Greensboro native’s brother, Bill, also was a P-51
fighter pilot. Preddy was

                        shot down and killed by “friendly” fire on Christmas
Day 1944.  His brother, 

                        Bill, also was shot down and killed on a combat
mission.  Joe Noah, who 

                        wrote a biography of George Preddy, will be our
guest.   It promises to be 

                        an interesting program. Please invite family,
friends and  business 

                        acquaintances.
