Well, now I know this about the aircraft:

It was part of 47th Bomb Group/97th Bomb Squadron, and on its way home from action in Tunisia, together with two other Havocs and a C-87, which it was trailing when it suffered a high speed stall and crashed, killing its crew of 3.

I am going to build a 1/48 kit of the plane – does anybody has pictures from the 47th Bomb Group or 97th Bomb Squadron in Tunisia, winter and spring 1943? Or, faltering that, an idea where I can ask for the info? Modellers forae, ? I am making this post on Warbirds, as I presúme they could be a very good guess.

What I am looking for is especially its noseart, if at had any.

Regards

Jon
