The “Lonesome Polecat” P-61B-1-NO #42-39420, Didn’t last long, becoming a prang-job at GIEBELSTADT, Germany on April 26. The 417th painted the last two digits of the airplane tail-number on the engine nacelles for quick identification and reference (from 417th NFS_Chapter-4-pg44-91_1945) Note also: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Aircraft_at_Flugplatz_Giebelstadt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giebelstadt_Army_Airfield W.
