This is my skin of Lt James Luma's 418 Squadron RCAF Mosquito Mk VI "Moonbeam McSwine". I've changed the kill markings into crosses to avoid the "no swastikas" rule.
James Luma travelled from his home in Montana to join the RCAF in July 1941. During 1943 and 44 he flew intruder sorties at night with 418 Squadron, attacking enemy aircraft over and on their airfields as they took off and landed. Luma shot down five enemy aircraft with 418; an Me210, an HE177, a FW190, a JU52, and a JU34 plus several more on the ground and was the only American to become an ace on the Mosquito. Later he joined the USAAF flying weather recon missions with the 802nd Reconnaissance Group. He survived the war having won both the British and American DFCs and then continued his flying career as a commercial pilot.
