90th Bomb Group

Still trying to reach Cherie about her Dad, Arthur Hoffman and his nose art.

Hi Bill
What do you want to know?
Chad

That's awesome Bob, thank you!! Incidentally that is Arthur Hoffman aka "521" that painted the nose art. I've been looking for that for a couple years and funnily enough, Dennis Soltis sent it to me just a couple days ago.

Where would I find your email address?

I'm looking for this photo of Booby Trap in the clouds for my nose art book. I discovered it in a 90th grouping with an original patch a few years ago and at $700, it was out of my price range. Does anyone have a copy of this photo? Also where was it taken and the approx mission?
Thanks!

I have determined that this is Sky Lady 42-40982 of the 319th

Another mystery... who is this gentleman? I would have thought it was Homer King, but his son Michael said it is not. The style does not match Hoffman, Cooper or Eipper.

Does anyone know if Betty Cleland was ever depicted in any of the nose art?

Did some looking around and found this listed under MACR 15983, but wasn't able to find the actual report. Found these 2 pages. I wasn't able to find the BuNo of the B-24.

Do you recognize this one? There's no number on the tail.
