No sir. P-40E George Kayser, 8-th squedron, 40-th fighter of the group USAAF 1942 P-40E - That is correct.

Umm I did a search for George Kayser and it's a no go. But what I did find stated it's George Kiser. He flew P-40s out of Darwin with the 8th Fighter Squadron, 49th Fighter Group.

He was credited with 7 Kills and had a large lion on the fuselage. He was better known as the "Kentucky Gentleman". He shot down three birds on 27 April 1942, two G4M Mitsubishis and a Zero.

This seems to fit the exact paint profile your doing now.

You can barely make it out, but this pic seems to read "Capt Kiser" ... or if you can read acryllic, that might help.

Considering the 8th Fighter Squadron, was with the 49th Fighter Group it only made sense it was Kiser

49th FG History also mentions that Kiser flew aircraft # 57

The 40th was a Bomber Group first flying B26s and 17s in the Canal Zone, then transitioning to B29s in 43.

Just curious.... I think it looks great.

But why does this plane/squadron not have the US insignias on the wings? Just seems really... olive drab =)
