(The Gills are a great touch.)

The nose art was painted between 11 and 17 Sep 1943 when the plane was grounded with leaky fuel cells.
A Cpl in Ordnance named Olson painted both the nose art and the crew's A-2 jackets.

My favourite by far is the Gemini art in #166.

Could someone explain #180- Star Swinger? Don't catch any connection. Song/movie/book?

The original Ruptured Duck was the B-25 flown by Lt. Ted Lawson in the Tokyo raid.

Lawson's book 30 Seconds Over Tokyo is a WW2 classic.
