Group 882nd Bomb Squadron
Isley Field, Saipan
PACIFIC QUEEN B29 42-63429

Johnson painted a seated grass-skirted half nude on this
Super Fortress which was claimed by the unidentified pilot as "Sunny's Honey". The
artist's "Drowsy Swede" signature can be seen below the artwork.
The photo below is believed to be Corporal Johnson clearing away his reference sketches after
completing the paint job on the right hand side of the B29.
