Interesting to note her surname wasn't painted on nose, not yet. And it seems, comparing with other few images we got of her, that US star wasn't positioned at same level on both side; well, it seems to me at least ...

The Command Review at Melun, France.
At Melun, the pilots all selected new names for their aircraft to replace those applied by the 54th ADS. Administrative control numbers (000, 111, 222, etc.) were also assigned to each machine, and the group latched onto Anspach's half-joking idea that they call themselves "Watson's Whizzers." (sic)
Hence the reason I wrote above all machines are pictured at Melun-Villaroche.
