Need help finding squadrons

Well I contacted the person who originally made that P-40 skin.  He says that it is infact a real aircraft.  He found it in a book and it had not only a profile but an actual real life picture of the aircraft.  He says for the most part the paint scheme should be nearly historical.  Though due to the profile being color and the picture itself being black and white there could be minor mistakes.  But that exact tail number did exist.

Nice work Cobra!

The discoloring of the noseart makes sense now due to the black and white photo.  Did he mention the name or author of the book?

Actually no I can contact him again and see what book it was.  I'll have to reread his message but I believe he said he couldnt' remember which one.  But he did say he doesn't make any skins unless he can find an actual photo of it somewhere.  He stressed that not all profiles are historically correct.  Some sites are different depending on where you go for the exact same aircraft.  I'll try and contact him again though.
