Thanks to this color picture the FLC was able to determine the right colors of the noseart, color photos from the war are very rare and this picture was probably shot at F 16 Uppsala. Photo: Klerren Nilson via Don Bose (FLC also wants to thank Mike Scalingi/The P-51 SIG, Thord Jonsson and Robert Bergwall who all helped in tracing this picture).
