Been able to find out today the name given to 3T-S at one stage was "Cousin Skip", and the plane was in "D" Flight, the same flight as Doogan. I'm however not able to confirm that the 3T-S in the photo is same 3T-S that was given this name. "Cousin Skip" does seem to be a strange name for nose art which does seem to depict a scantily clad woman

Hi I might be able to shed a bit of light on 3T-S 420211. If my information is correct, this plane was flown by Lt Thomas C Vollenweider, my Fathers 2nd Cousin (my third). Thomas was killed over Bastogne on the 27th December 1944. Here is a couple of links showing his was the pilot of 420211 when he was killed: http://www.fieldsofhonor-database.com/index.php/american-war-cemetery-henri-chapelle-v/43917-vollenweider-thomas-c http://p-47.database.pagesperso-orange.fr/Database/MACR.htm Unfortunately I am yet to discover any information on the nose art. If I do, I will post more information.
