Somewhat interesting, big colorful artwork on the side, with some sort of nose art on the cowling, too.

Says 49FG, 1942 in the caption. It's a painting FYI, so not guaranteed to have really existed, but I was curious.

EDIT: Also seen here: http://www.udisco.com/hobbies/pics/569702.jpg

Nose art says Star Dust
