P-61 Black Widow> The Great Raid Query

Mon Jun 16, 2014 10:03 pm

Hi folks,

Greetings from Singapore!!!

I'm currently researching the markings for the P-61 Black Widow that was used in the "Great Raid" that liberated allied POWs in Cabanatuan, Philippines, 30th January 1945.

So far, references have stated the following information;

1) It was a P-61A-10-NO from the 547th Night Fighter Squadron based in Lingayen Air Field;
2) Crew>
Pilot> Capt Kenneth. Schreiber;
Radar Operator> 1st Lt Bonnie Rucks;
3) Serial Number> 42-39395
4) Moniker> "Hard to Get"; Vargas styled nude artwork;

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone would have any information, images or photos on the actual nose art for the said aircraft.

I'm an avid modeler of WW2 aircraft of the Pacific war and I would like to represent this great aircraft and crew on a scale model complete with the appropriate nose art.

Much thanks....
