Harbor White Four, 26 June 1943

P-47C serial 41-6242 "You Know What?/Irma" flown by LT George Goldstein, 62nd Fighter Squadron, 56th FG. Bomber escort mission to Villacoublay, France. 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).
