The B-24D, 41-11761, first named, Sleepy, was later, named, The Squaw, by it's command pilot, Lt. Royden LeBrecht. It was painted overall in the USAAF standard sand color, which oxidized to light pink in the North African desert sun and heat. The name, Sleepy, and it's nose art, was a picture of one of Walt Disney's cartoon characters, Snow White's dwarf, Sleepy, which was painted on the RH side of the plane's forward nose section. Later, after, Royden LeBrecht took ownership of, and renamed the plane : The Squaw, it's nose art, a picture of a naked Indian squaw, was painted on the LH forward nose section. Before the plane went back to the U.S. on it's war bond tour, the name, Sleepy, and the image of Snow White's dwarf, Sleepy, was removed from the RH forward nose section and replaced with a picture of a large map of the Mediterranean Theater of Operations area. The airplane's name, The Squaw, was, first, painted in large letters on the RH side of the aircraft's nose, with a picture of an unclad Indian maiden on her knees looking up at the name, The Squaw, on the RH forward side of the airplane's nose section, also looking at a self awarded "Citation", known as, "Wash's Tub Citation", noting the total bombing missions flown by, The Squaw, including the Ploesti mission. These markings were retained throughout the rest of it's combat tour. After the Ploesti mission, the original, Squaw, art work was changed from a naked squaw, to a bikini clothed, more wholesome looking, Squaw, for viewing by the American people back home on it's war bond tour. It's national insignias in early 1943 were white stars on blue roundels with yellow surrounding borders around the roundels. This was changed later in 1943 with dark blue surrounds, and, later, the addition of two rectangular white "wings" added to each side of the stars and roundels, with a red border around the entire insignia's roundels and wings. The Recall Letter, a large letter, L, was painted on the outboard sides of the vertical stabilizer fins along with the British tricolored "Fin Flash" insignias.

To further explain the airplane's name change, earlier, in the spring of 1943, in compliance with the, so called, "Snow White Squadron", directive, the name and figure of the dwarf, "Sleepy", had been painted on the RH forward side of 41-11761's nose, but was removed after the plane was renamed, The Squaw, by Lt. Royden Lebrecht. And the picture of, Sleepy, was replaced with a large map of the Mediterranean MTO combat area, depicting it's missions and sorties.
