P-47D "Fickle Flossie"
As part of the their D-Day coverage our local newspaper ran a piece about a local resident and P-47 pilot named Ben Johnson who flew this airplane as part of the 366th Fighter Group.
I'd like to do a repaint of an existing P-47 model to represent the airplane that he flew over 100 missions in. I'm having a hard time finding information about this plane though. The nose art is not a problem, but I don't know anything about how the rest should look. Can anyone help me with additional information. I have attached photos representing the info that I do have. Thanks, Curt |

Just going through the website for that unit, that has some of the best nose art I have seen. They obviously had a sign guy in the unit doing them, they all have good layouts and images, something that is not common on most unit nose art.
