Historical Note:    Assigned to the 483rd BG on August 17, 1944, this aircraft had its "FDR" inspired nose art applied by a local Italian artist, who was commissioned by the bomber's crew chief, T/Sgt. Irvin Davis.  Later converted into an Air-Sea Rescue platform, this aircraft survived the war and was scrapped at Walnut Ridge in the US in late December 1945.
