Dan is back, but I haven't seen him in AH yet...

He had some family emergencies before he left, so I think his time is still limited.

SO I'm a little slow :)

 Haven't had time to fly yet.  Trying to get the new stick and pedals to work first.

This is the 51 you are talking about right?

My first thought was it was part of the French Airforce because it has the invasion stripes in 1945, though by that time most US planes had gotten rid of them, but the US Insignia puzzled me.

3rd Air Commandos, meaning it was flying against the Japanese.

Not sure on the story of the name.
