"The P-40 flown by Captain William R
(Dick) Reed (Squadron Leader,
317th FS, 325th Fighter Group) in
North Africa carried the name
"Queen Mary" on its nose and not
"Lone Tiger". It also did not have a
painted shark's mouth (although
those flown by his uncle, William N.
Reed in the AVG and CACW did).
