The late Reverend Jeffrey Ethell was more than a aviation history writer, he flew a host of aircraft to learn first hand of the flight characteristics. He died in the crash of a P-38 on one such check flight. In his research, he gathered a HUGE collection of color photography from the crew chiefs and pilots from WWII and Korea.

Jeff's widow has made the slides into duplicate prints for sale. You may obtain a larger version of that photo direct from her.
HTH,
