Don't know your Group did Juggs as well.

We got to get a D-11 done for the 49th as well - need more PTO JUGGS - way to many ETO ones now.   ;)

Good Luck with it.   :salute

Rogerdee in the photo the swoop on the nose extends back to the cowl flaps.

Another thing about the blue stripes:



See how the first stripe stops at that panel plate? It almost looks like it continues below it, until it reaches the wing fillet. I wonder if the second stripe also extends to the wing fillet.


Rather odd to have stripes that just stop halfway down, don't you think?

Anybody have a clearer photo of the side without the man's leg blocking our view?

I believe we're talking two different airplanes with the profile being the earlier bird and the one in the photos being after he made ace.

Leroy Grossheuesch didn't have his 6th kill until February 10, 1945 so the photos are after that and before February 25, 1945 when he got his 7th kill.  His first kill was November 21, 1944.  The profile is dated September 44 so I assume it was his bird prior to his run started.

edited to add.  The danger of too many books is you forget about some :)

Clearly the photo from where #10 came from.


And another profile of Leroy's Jug and his 51 which is a beauty.  Photos are credited to Leroy and the serial on the jug isn't complete.  All his birds were numbered 33 so second guessing says 10 wasn't his, but was the squadron commander's prior to Leroy taking over as CO.

Twinboom if you want that 51 done, I can replace the Pacific one I already did with it when I submit..
