North American P-51D named "Passion Wagon" was originally piloted by Major Arval Roberson from the 362nd FS/357th FG and the provocative nude nose art was the first female applied by mechanic Bob Child. Roberson completed his tour of duty with 6 victories and "Passion Wagon" was re-assigned to Captain Charles "Chuck" Weaver who kept the pin up girl nose art. The aircraft eventually moved on and became "Gypsy". Captain Weaver became an Ace downing 4 Bf-109's, 3 Fw-190's and 1 Me-262's.
