Wow! Nice drawing. It could either be the emotion of a kamikaze, or just the look of a fighter pilot, scanning the skies for bogies. The cool part is that it could be interpreted either way, which means you have created a great piece.
Urban L."Ben"Drew flew a P-47N "682" SN 44-88492 named Detroit Miss 2 out of Iwo Jima in 1945. This is my best guess as to how the "logo" may have looked on his "Jug", the only difference being the bomb graphic being removed from behind the logo. In this case the type is not reversed out but painted black in keeping with the shiny, clean finish and no camouflage. The tail would be yellow with a black vertical bar behind the "star bar" insignia. I plan to do a version of this in color.
