Thank you to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin. This is one I also did on the old P-38L shape.
Melba Lou IV was the P-38L of Major Hampton E Boggs of the 459th Fighter Squadron, while based in British-held Burma in 1945. Major Boggs was credited with thirteen kills during the war including three in one day on 25th March 1944, for which feat he was awarded a DSC. He later flew F-86 Sabres in the Korean War but he lost his life during a training flight over Wisconsin in 1953. A snow storm prevented him from landing and he was forced to eject from his F-86, but his chute failed to open.
The 459th were the only P-38 unit based in Burma and their aircraft featured some unusual colour schemes. This included painting their natural metal finish P-38Ls with the locally available RAF dark green and sky paints to better blend in with the jungle.
