Betty Jean was a Mustang Mk IA originally purchased by
the RAF but retained by the USAAF. She is seen here in April 1944
on the Anzio beachead. Notice the remnant of flag on rudder. The serial
is repeated in small black numbers on the tail as the original number
was hidden by the bars added to the fuselage roundel. |
