AH736 'K'

Flown by Norbert C. Ruff
This is the same aircraft that was flown by Richard Suehr. It was adopted by Norbert Ruff when he was in 80th FS, 35th FG & stationed at Milne Bay, New Guinea in 1943. The camoflage remained the same but the stylized shark's mouth & 'K' were added & the 'Flaming Arrow' was painted over. I have represented the paint as being much more faded than when Dick Suehr had the aircraft.
