Cheers, Theo

It was not uncommon for USAAF a/c to have two names or symbols. The pilot would put his stamp on the left side and the crew chief of the a/c would put his on the right side. Maj. George Preddy's well known "Cripes 'A Mighty 3rd" was such an example. It had, on the right side a barber's pole as the crew chief was the squadron barber.
