I don't think the "CE" is the squadron code as it looks like all the letters after the "C" are different. Possibly a training squadron

That's the 111th Tactical Recon Squadron in the MTO and Southern France. The "C" represented C Flight, with the second letter representing the individual aircraft.

Cheers,

.. CE, CT, CP and possible CK.

Photo taken from another plane (P-51?), as you can see the top star and bar on wing . . at bottom of photo. Not sure if the photo was actually overseas or stateside.

The 6 o'clock pic: perfectly aligned, perfectly painted stripes. prop exactly symmetrical. Just seems odd.

Attention to Detail! I spent a good portion of my youth painting to earn money for college. I can paint with either hand. I painted a ceiling w no drop cloth, which scared the homeowner when he walked in on me. LOL! The aircraft may have been in for maintenance so was not flying prior to the decision to apply markings, making it available to be one of the first to receive 'Invasion Stripes.' Is is a post war photo of 'Princess Elizabeth' flying today? ? ? ?
