Your nose art section was missing a photo of the "Peli-Can", piloted by my Great Uncle Roy William Olsen, taken down by a Japanese kamikaze pilot over the pacific in 1944. I have attached the picture.

Your uncle was in the thick of it and actually went down in 1943. The site should let you email me directly so I can send you information that will make for a very interesting story for you family history. No one in the Fifth Air Force surpassed his combat record.
