Lovely Leo.







None of the decals or profiles show nose art on both sides of this plane. In one of my books tucked away on the end of the field "Lovely Leo" has nose art on both sides.

Very hard to see past "Some Punkins" in the pic showing "Mad Russian".

Those color shots really help with the blue trim.

Colour references.

































The red cowlings would be post war.

Fantastic.  Best WWII color I've seen.  Tail color diagram also very helpful.  Thanks!

#05 I noticed it has a very faded out face on this side of the plane and looks like an old lock around its neck.





The other side has nothing on the cowling.



Looking about I found this image of another Jug in the PTO I'm guessing a Razorback that has almost the exact same thing.



Edit. Yes a razor back.

Question about "Chautauqua":



Aboout have my references show this aircraft as fuselage number 109, the other show her as #119.   Not sure which is correct...
