Hello,




My brother-in-law's grandfather was a mechanic in the 439th. Can anyone tell me what the names of some of the planes were along with the nose art. I have tried to find books and info on this with no luck. I appreciate your help.

Hello,

I have found a picture with "Fifteen Famous Planes" the picture has the nose of the planes only. Some of the names shown are: Zero-4, Lady Luck,Modern Design, Twenty Niner,Little Sirocco and others. I have been looking through my grandfather's old papers (he passed away 2 years ago) & I am looking for information about his time with the 319th. His name was Clem Weiser. Let me know if you need any more information or if you have any information on the 319th headquarters.



Thank You



Amy Swoyer
