| HINT: This is not a survivor today, unless it is part of another P-51.
It is NX54954, the rest is up to you. |

different N number. |

| I have a picture of NX 4E City of Lynchburg Va II that I took at
Cleveland. I worked ?? for Woody keeping his airplanes clean. The picture I took and Woody signed
has a 4 bladed prop. All A-36-A`s I have seen had 3 bladed props. Can anyone give me information
about this? I was only 16 at the time |

One was A-36A-1-NA, 42-83769, c/n 15987,originally registered as NX54954
to Everett Hogan of Scottsbluff, Nebraska, subsequently purchased by Woodrow W. Edmundson of Lynchburg,
Virginia, and re-registered as NX4E.It competed at Cleveland in 1947 as race number 15 City of Lynchburg,
Virginia II. It finished 3rd in the 1947 Kendall at 372.392 mph, flying the third lap at 390.145 mph!
During the Thompson Trophy Race the Allison exploded in the eleventh lap. Edmundson bailed out safely,
and the A-36 crashed and was destroyed. Edmundson also owned the Limited Type Certificate No. 15-2 for
the A-36A.Only a 16 year old boy who loves mustangs, so used google(hope thats not cheating) found it
