    The ship which would become CAPT William Shomo's P-39Q "Snooks 2nd" (serial 42-19995) of the 82nd Tac Recon Sq, 71st TRG. The name would appear on the left gun bay panel; "Betty Lou 3rd" is most likely a dedication by the aircraft's crew chief.

    A larger scan might help, but I believe this is LT Delta C. "Del" Graham Jr., 82nd Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, 71st TRG. Officially credited with one confirmed aerial victory. Aircraft is P-39Q serial 42-20393. Graham was KIA 1 March 1944.

    Gerry Asher Email me at arenga@sdasm.org and I can send you a higher res scan!

    After your send of the larger scan, and the fact that the back of the snapshot was annotated, "LT Graham," it's a sure bet this is Delta C. Graham, Jr.
