Republic P-47D-30-RA, 45-49365, was Col. Robert L. Baselcr’s last 325th FG aircraft before the unit was disbanded in October, 1945. The black and yellow checks cover both sides of all of the tail surfaces on the natural metal and the cowl panel with “Rig Stud” on it is black. Note that the “Ace of Spades” marking has the spade pointing down, rather than up as on his previous aircraft. The black lines with arrows on the wings are believed to be for aiming during deflection shots. (Robert L. Baseler) |
