Door art representing an Airacobra flown by Lt J.T. Evans of 110th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron (TRS), 71st TRG. The unit was based at Gusap Airfield, New Guinea from Feb-Jun 1944 before moving to Tadji Airfield from where this aircraft was recovered. This model was fitted with the 1,200 hp Allison V-1710-85 engine and a slightly larger Aeroproducts propeller, but it made little difference to the low top speed, rate of climb and poor performance at higher altitudes. "Girlie" has twelve P-400 type exhaust stubs per side. Baling out of the side car door was considered a risky proposition.
