Nose art painted by Sgt Tony BENSON 3rd Attack Group 89th Sqn Pacific
The caricature of pilot Lt R R Loftus was originally created by Lt William Suor and then painted onto the aircraft by Sgt Tony Benson at Nadzab. It was named, like many of the 89BS nose arts, after one of Damon Runyon's colourful characters.
