    Think I might have one of the first one Evan, I'll have a search through my books.
    Get in touch with Harrison (B-17 Engineer), as he was collecting loads of stuff and photos on the unit, and was/is in touch with some of the veterans.

    Don't know if you've seen these Evan, from the Osprey aviation elite book "352nd Fighter Group"

    Madness doesn't always howl. Sometimes its a quiet voice in the middle of a model build that says "Hey buddy, is there room in your head for one more?"

    Sorry Evan, I thought I had a colour photo of 'Hell-Er-Bust' in 'The Mighty 8th in Colour', but it turned out to be a different kite. All I've got is a colour profile, similar to the one posted, in Osprey's 'Mustang Aces' book.
