Title: Mopsy
Post by: Greebo on February 13, 2019, 07:04:56 AM

Thank you to Lyric1 for finding me the information for this skin.

"Mopsy" was an A-20G flown by Lt Clark of the 644th Bomb Squadron, 410th Bomb Group who were based in England and then France in late 1944. This Group's role as part of the 9th Air Force was to support the Allied armies' advance by level bombing enemy logistics and communications. The method employed was for a glass-nosed A-20J to act as bombing leader for a group of gun-nosed A-20Gs, but at altitudes which were sometimes as low as 3,000 feet. In July Mopsy, like most Allied aircraft, had its upper D Day stripes painted over to make it less visible to fighters.

Brilliantly done. The wash over the invasion stripes is excellent.
