Images from "The Debden Warbirds-The 4th Fighter Group in World War II" by Frank Speer.

This was the nose art on 4th FG pilot Fred Glover's 51D.  In the back of the book are a number of color nose art shots, of Don Allen's  work.  Don Allen was a crew chief with the 4th and did many of the original nose art on the 47s and 51s.  He redid a bunch in the 90s to replicate the work he'd done back during the war.

Great stuff.
