It was my Dad’s aircraft and the nose art was a play on the popular song, “Peg o’ My Heart”. I am not sure who the individual was standing next to the airplane but my Dad may have known him. Dad was in Europe from Christmas 1944 through Aug 1945. I watched the entire film looking for my Father and did not see him although I remember him talking about the making of this film.
