Nice one of Pop too. That's a great emblem on the cowling. It seems Mickey Mouse served with just about every airforce involved in the conflict! Obviously as popular in Rumania as everywhere else.

Sorry, no pic, and no aircraft, but my uncle had a monkey he kept on the LCM he drove in the Pacific late in the war. He got it either in the Phillipines or Borneo. When he got on the ship to come home, the officer made him toss it overboard.
 
Glad you like them guys, here's another 2, no story for these though.
