the 392nd Bomb Group decided to honor Birdie Schmidt of the American Red Cross (ARC), by naming one of their B-24s, “Birdie Schmidt”.

 

I know the Red Cross got a lot of recognition and respect, but I don't think it was enough, and I am thrilled to discover this nose art effort. I'm surprised I've never heard of it until now
