P40E - 9th FS, 49th FG, 5th AF, New Guiniea/ Oct '42 / Lt. Sidney Woods.

Woods later commanded the 9th FS of the 49th FG when they converted to P38s, scoring one kill. He then went to England Where he commanded two different fighter groups, including the 4th Fighter Group. He was a double ace, including an Ace in a day 5 kill mission with the 4th FG on 3/22/45. He also served in the 479th FG and 355th FG in England. he was made a POW on his 180th mission on April 16, 1945

49th FG History says the colors were standard OD-Green and Tan.  Colors you have look just like the profiles in the book.  Seems right on color wise.
