Aircraft nicknames can be a tricky thing.  They were never official, so there is no master list of what name goes to which aircraft.  We have some records, personal recollections, photos, and a few "unofficial" lists.

For some names we know which aircraft they were associated with, but have no photo of that particular nose art to confirm.  Yet with others we have a photo, but no idea by serial number of which aircraft is actually pictured.

Maybe you can help?

Photo, but no positive ID:

Duckie: One of the early G-1 models, note the lack of cheek guns. No known serial number or squadron. Photo dated 3/31/44.

We believe that "Myrt's Avenger" has a chin turret, and a cheek gun kit modification made either at a modification center, or in the field.

Seldom Fooks.  A B-17G.
