Hello fellow Wikapediazoids. I've created this article because I noticed the absence of an article on this most famous of P-51 advocates. Unfortunately, I will likely not have time to complete the entry for a couple of weeks. I hope someone will step in to do so before then. Sofa King Thursday, 2007-03-01 T 21:58 UTC

[edit] Article improvement

Two initial sources and references have been provided. The article needs fleshing out. The records on his being an Flying ace vary. The List of World War II air aces has Blakeslee at 14.5 kills while one source has him at 15.5. Not a biggee but back in those days was a notable achievement because he was a flying commander.

Needs

• Decorations
• Public domain photo
• Official USAF bio (should be one somewhere)
• List of commands
• Correct bio tag

Anyone who can help will be appreciated. Morenooso 05:00, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
