That is Larry Blumer's plane. I did have a picture of the plane with Larry Blumer standing in front of it, taken in late 1944.
I'm not sure if that (the plane in the picture above) is the plane he actually flew in combat or the one he owned after the war. It appears to be the post war plane as it was seen at Blumer Air Maintenance, in or around Oregon.
It is believed that Blumer's victims that day included Luftwaffe ace Rudi Dassow. This has never been confirmed.
I know at one time the plane he owned after the war had a yellow nose, yellow spinners, and yellow cowls. I did have a picture of it taken from another plane in mid air, with both engines off, and both props feathered. It was signed "Hey Jack, remember when 'Scrap' ". The plane was destroyed in a fatal crash after Blumer sold it, the wreckage is at Kermit Weeks' place.
(J and L model P-38's were sold after the war for $1250, a few earlier models sold for less than $1000)
