Object Number - UPL 82185 - 42-25745 "Squirt"
'Squirt' was P-47D 42-25745, YJ-G, with the 353rd FG, 351st FS and became a formation monitor with 100th BG. The photo most likely shows it 'as received' at Thorpe Abbotts. The name was retained but the yellow/black checks were changed to a red noseband."
