MADAM SHOO SHOO B-17 43-37786 551st Squadron
Clark Rollins' crew requested this stunning piece of work portraying
"Madam Shoo Shoo". The life-sized figure showed Haywood's talent at its best.
Arriving at Great Ashfield in mid June 1944, the aircraft suffered severe damage
in November but survived until hostilities ceased. It was flown back to
Bradley Field, USA, a year after arrival in England and was scrapped at
Kingman Field, Arizona at the end of 1945.
