Gotta love that "original" paint job.

If you don't like the 'odd' paint job, here's what she loked like before she was ever painted. Right off the line, waiting for her Siamese scheme to be applied.

Find more information about this a/c AND its paint job at:
http://museum.eaa.org/collection/aircra ... #TopOfPage

Tom Lymburn & I wrote up the a/c description for the EAA web site, but they edited it (after all, it is their a/c and their web site). Our research clearly found that the "myth" related to Pearl Harbor did not apply to this a/c. The EAA edit kind of leads you to believe that is one "story". Tom's research found it could not have been at Pearl Harbor.

In any case, this is an interesting a/c and I, for one, am glad they kept it in its civilian paint to remind us or instruct us about how some warbirds were painted post war.
