Thank you for your replies.
I don't have the picture, I saw it in a former Belgian prisoner scrapbook. I agree white WNr. on nose. A long wornt bird.

Best regards

Hello again ClinA-78,
Regarding a photo of this bird, I published it in AIRFOIL #1, 1983, page 24. I found my copy years ago from an undiscovered (at that time) USAF color movie reel. Sadly, I have no idea where my original photo is today.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin
