I had a friend who flew the P-51 in ETO during WW2. He always flew the Wingman postion as he never trusted that another pilot wouldn't flake off on him. He was in the same gorup as Chuck Yeager, and said he would steal Yeagers Girl Friends away from him.
The other 2 tales he recounted was that while flying over France he saw the engine fall off of a P-51, killing the pilot. The other was his refusal to take off on a mission in heavy fog, all the pilots who did take off never came back.
