Doing some research and got interested in the WWII P-51D mustang called "Little Shrimp".

Are there any examples of this mustang flying with this paint scheme?

What is the status of Mr. (Major) Robert W. Foy? Is he still alive?

Thank you very much for the help!

L/C Bob Foy scored 15 kills in the 363rd FS 357th FG flying P-51B/D
"Reluctant Rebel" and P-51D "Little Shrimp". He was killed in the late 40s possibly 1950-51 in a B-25 crash in AZ.
