P-38 "Pluto"

While going through photo’s on Fold-3, I came across this.
Probably a staged shot, but would anyone have more details on this bird ??
Pilot , Squadron etc.

Thanks in advance.

A little bit of googledigging throws up a possible – 42-66683, ‘Pluto’, 12th FS – they operated in the Pacific, and with the Rising Sun ‘kill’ on the nose, it is probably safe to say that’s where the photo was shot?
