Thanks Gents.
Yes, Shoo Shoo Baby, got that one covered.
For Sugarland Express however, Google gives me a Spielberg movie, 6000-odd hits after filtering out various obvious non-applicable words. Was having a bet someone here knew "the rest of the story", so to speak.
Didn't know about Sugarland Texas though, maybe that's a start. In the A-26 pic, cutie-pie is trailing a flag with a single star, seems right.
I've seen the USAAF mossie before, in a B&W film; a piece of shameless self-promotion by de Havilland's. Always thought it would make a pretty skin somewhere - at least in the film, one can see where the RAF roundels have been painted over and the American markings put on. Much the nicest, most stylish noseart I've seen on a Mosquito.
Seems almost a metaphor for the cooperation between the two airforces:
"This is our Mosquito. We're rather proud of it, old boy."
"Paint's a little plain. Let me fix that for ya, pal."
