There's is one in Kucera's book on FG 31st. Maybe the artist had his own sources, but the point for me is how can you tell, say, what was the tail like or how many recon stripes were drawed on the wings from this single picture? That's the reason why I'd like to see a whole aircraft shot.
I hope Mr Brooks is still alive. He was two years ago when IIRC attended to a airshow with the courrently restored P-51 "February" flying.
