Summary

Photograph was taken on Biak Island (c. July 1944), they had just returned from a combat mission to an unrecorded enemy area. The P-38 was assigned to the 431st Fighter Squadron because the propeller spinner is a solid color--red. The spinners in Teddy's squadron were blue and only the back half were painted. Could very well have been McGuire's plane # 131, since he was assigned to the 431st at the time.

Photograph Credit

Teddy W. Hanks, U.S. Army Air Force, member of 433rd Squadron, 475th Fighter Group at time of photograph. He had earlier been a member of the 40th Pursuit Squadron of the 35th Fighter Group.
