And the PBY looks liek a -6A
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

I bet your right! The PBY is from Florida. Wish I had more info for you.
Damn, I remember building models of the PBY about 35 years ago.

The 38 has been repainted in 432nd FS, 475th FG colors now as Perry Dahl's P38H "23 Skidoo"

Those are the markings in the photo.
