Title: Magic Carpet
Post by: Greebo on May 27, 2024, 03:12:51 AM

Thanks to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin which is the third and last of my skins for next month's FSO.

"Magic Carpet" was the aircraft flown by Colonel Harold H. Holt, CO of the 366th Fighter Group. He flew it on 175 sorties from February 1944 until the end of the war in Europe and in all that time it never had to abort a mission for mechanical trouble. Some time towards the end of 1944 the camouflage paint was stripped from its wings, cowl and canopy, but not from the fuselage and tail. A second and larger the normal insignia was painted under the left wing to aid recognition from the ground.
