The article entitled George Preddy: Top-Scoring World War II Mustang Ace, which gives an overview of the military career of this pilot, appeared on the TheHistoryNet server. It also mentiones Preddy's brother William, who was killed in then Czechslovakia.
The author Kelly Bell wrote: "Valor was apparently a family trait. On April 17, 1945, George's 20-year-old brother William, who had logged two victories in a P-51, was killed by anti-aircraft fire over Pilsen, Czechoslovakia." This should be corrected: 1/Lt William R. Preddy was shot down by flak defending the airdrome ner Ceske Budejovice (90 miles south of Prague) and mortally wounded.
According to the official list of aerial victories maintained by AFHRA, 1/L Preddy was credited only with one (Fw 190 fighter on March 2, 1945), on the same mission he also probably destroyed downed a Bf 109 fighter.
