This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Wings of Power III P-47D Thunderbolt, representing P-47D-15 42-76141. Capt. Lonnie M Davis of the 350th FS/353rd FG was the assigned pilot of 42-76141 LH-Q "Arkansas Traveller". It was originally Capt. Dewey E Newhart's LH-D "Mud n' Mules", with the right hand side of the cowling depicting the rear-end of the mule. Capt. Newhart was killed in action on 12 June 1944 in Wayne Blickenstaff's LH-U "Soubrette" and LH-D was reassigned to Capt. Lonnie M Davis as LH-Q. Capt. Davis renamed the a/c "Arkansas Traveller" but kept the front part of the mule artwork out of respect for Capt. Newhart. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paintkit by Martin Catney.
