Do you have a close up of the nose art for Three Cads and a Lad. My father-in-law was the “lad” and piloted the plane. He is now 97 and would love a picture of the nose art.

Joyce Kaminski, I’m a 1st cousin to Leland Evers who was the pilot that was killed when this plane went down. I had the honor of visiting with Ed at the reunion in Omaha years ago!
