Before Nose Mod - Renamed After Paint Strip to PUSS & BOOTS

Contributor - Pete Johnston

Info Contributor - Theodore J. Williams
In mid December '43, we sent all our original deployment aircraft to the Depot for salvage or retrofitting for a nose turret (the Depot's call) in exchange for newer aircraft. When we went to the Depot in February '44 for further new aircraft, we found that PRINCE VALIANT (now with a turret) was available so we took it again.
