MarK;

The named planes of 418 have caused me the most grief in my research. Photos of the nose art invariably don't show the serial number on the tail. A picture of the tail doesn't reveal the nose art as it is blocked by the wings! I just can't win.

The primary records don't mention any given aircraft by its name. Only by serial number. Consequently, it has been difficult to match s/n to art work through primary sources.

Of the list above, my records show the only named aircraft to be Moonbeam McSwine HJ719. To date I have not been able to identify which aircraft was Daisy Mae. I would appreciate any input on the identity if some comes up.
