P-38L 49thFG 8thFS "Itsy Bitsy II" re-do
« on: September 07, 2009, 10:47:03 PM »
Close to finishing this re-do of one of my earliest-submitted P-38 skins.   It is the mount of Major George Laven of the 49th FG.   He was apparently quite a character, and bagged not only one of the first P-38 kills of the War in his 54th FS P-38 (the first "Itsy Bitsy", which is also available in game as a P-38G skin), but also the last kills by a P-38 ace when he shot down a Japanese "Emily" flying boat in this 49th FG P-38L, "Itsy Bitsy II".   Laven was the last Lightning ace of WWII.
