In search of this photo of Booby Trap

I'm looking for this photo of Booby Trap in the clouds for my nose art book. I discovered it in a 90th grouping with an original patch a few years ago and at $700, it was out of my price range. Does anyone have a copy of this photo? Also where was it taken and the approx mission?
Thanks!

Another mystery... who is this gentleman? I would have thought it was Homer King, but his son Michael said it is not. The style does not match Hoffman, Cooper or Eipper.

Re: Nose Art Artists in the 90th BG

Does anyone know if Betty Cleland was ever depicted in any of the nose art?

Re: Seeking information about my uncle a bombadier

Did some looking around and found this listed under MACR 15983, but wasn't able to find the actual report. Found these 2 pages. I wasn't able to find the BuNo of the B-24.

Do you recognize this one? There's no number on the tail.

Not sure what the significance of "521" is. I thought perhaps his number, but that is not it.

Re: Nose Art Artists in the 90th BG

Thanks Bob. These are great! I have most of those, but certainly not in color. That's fantastic. I wonder if I have the wrong artist attributed to Buck Benny. Hoffman's Booby Trap, Little Chief and Road to Tokyo all are signed "521" and Buck Benny doesn't appear to have that. It sure looks...
