Has anyone got a pick of the nose art on the P-38 Dumbo?

P-38G-5-LO, AAF S/N. 42-12847, # 37, assigned to Lt. John C. Dunbar
Crew Chief Sgt. Ray Chartrey

John Dunbar painted the nose art picture and name " DUMBO ! " on his P-38
Painting showed the Disney character running with a smoke trail of bolts and nuts.

Mick has the restoration of this and the other P-38s started at Precision yet ?

Thanks

Keep em flying

John Lane might be able to help on this one.
A friend of mine, John Stanaway, wrote the 39th FS
unit history so I'll check with him.

I know this thread has been dead for awhile but I came across the picture you were looking for.
