An amusing anecdote that my mom just shared regarding this plane...
So Grandpa Fogle's soon to be wife, Florence, was just his sweetheart
when the picture was taken (He proposed upon his return on Christmas
Eve, 1944) Flo's Dad sent my Grandpa "Simoniz" wax so that he and
his crew chief could wax Fickle Flossy to a mirror shine that would
reflect light better and "blind the enemy while in combat". He sent photos
of the wax job back to his soon-to-be father-in-law.
She's digging around for them and I'll post up when/if I get them.
