The artwork, featuring Uncle Sam exposing his rear end, was alternatively nicknamed "TIS'MA-"... but doesn't appeared to have carried both names simultaneously.
During the course of his combat tour, Goldstein was officially credited with two confirmed aerial victories.
Goldstein would become a POW flying this aircraft, a victim of a propeller malfunction in the vicinity of Poix, France on 5 December 1943; he bailed out safely (MACR 1433).
