“Tiger 822 Strawberry Bitch:  This was the crew of Strawberry Bitch. We had the painting done in downtown Soc Trang.  The guy did beautiful work.  We used a photo of the actress Yvette Mimieux from a recent Playboy.  The name was my suggestion and it came from a WW2 B-24D on display at the USAF Museum.  I have always been a “Warbird” fan, even in 1968!  The crew was CWO Robert Fleming, Crew Chief SP4 Lammers and Gunner SP5

Hamilton.   When the crew returned to the states, so did the Radio/Battery Cover, so perhaps it is still around?”
