Arguably this A-20G carried one the crudest yet most effective pieces of noseart in the Fifth Air Force. The ugly cigar-smoking cat was Captain Harold H. Fisher's idea of the direct opposite to much of the 'girlie' noseart being applied to his conemporaries' aircraft. Fisher was the Squadron Operations Officer. The name was hand-painted on with little artictic discipline.

Sweet Li'l Kitten served briefly with the 8th Bombardment Squadron being being transferred into the 388th in February 1944. It had been delivered to the USAAC in the States on 4 October 1943.

Fisher flew the aircraft on the fateful Black Sunday mission, however its last flight was on 1 October 1944 when pilot Ralph Trout delivered it to the Nadzab scrapyard from Hollandia where it was smelted in the late 1940s. By this time it had developed a tail-heavy attitude due to a heavy landing.

Sweet L'il Kitten's crew chief was T/Sgt Archie Kachel
