Hell from Heaven is not all she seems. Assigned to 'Pappy' W. Turner, with O. R. Goodin as his crew-chief, Turner kept the cowling from one of his previous P-38J-15s, and had Goodin fit it to his new ship, seen here.

Note the two Japanese kill markings on the side, with room for one more. The nose-art was distinctive if nothing else.

The identity of the 'first' Hell From Heaven remains a mystery. All that Turner can recall is that it was lost by another pilot.

(with thanks to 'Pappy Turner')
