P-39N-1, 42-18354, Maj. Charles F. Hoover, 345th FS, 350 FG,
Ghisonaccia, Corsica, December 1943
P-39N-1, 42-18378, 10° Gruppo, 4° Stormo, ACI, Lecce-Galatina, Italy, 1944
Late in the summer of 1943, the aircraft of Capt.
Charles E. Hoover, commander of the 345th
FS/350th FG, was an Airacobra called The
Shark” after the shark’s mouth painted on the
nose. The markings were unusual for the 350th
FG, not only because of the mouth, but also
because of the absence of yellow stripes on
the wings and aft fuselage. As presented, the
aircraft had its armament reduced to a pair
of machine guns in the wings. The Olive Drab
color of the camouflage of the upper surfaces
sported clearly visible an extensive repairs,
giving the surface the appearance of two-tone
camouflage. During the repairs, most of the
stenciling disappeared under the new paint.
The markings of the aircraft changed during
service and two different forms are documented.
The one shown here corresponds to the period
in which the “Shark” operated from Ghisonaccia
base in Corsica in early 1944. Below the
Devilhawks emblem, two swastikas symbolizing
kills were marked on the port side. It is not
entirely clear whether these are Hoover’s,
as he shot down one Bf 109 in February 1943
and was involved in the probable destruction of
Do 217 on October 21, 1943. But the two kill marks
might also represent two victories achieved by
the aircraft. One swastika would thus represent
the aforementioned Do 217, the other the Me
410, which according to his memoirs was shot
down by Lt. Ogilvie. However, this kill was not
officially confirmed, as the encounter occurred
over enemy territory and was unwitnessed.
The Aviazione Cobelligerante Italiana (ACI) was
the air force of the Southern Italian monarchist
government of Pietro Badoglio, formed in
October 1943 after the armistice concluded
between Italy and the Allies at Cassibile.
The ACI then used aircraft supplied by the USA
and Great Britain in addition to Italian types. At
the time of handover to ACI, this Airacobra had
been operated approximately a year and a half
by the 345th FS/350th FG USAAF in Africa and
the Mediterranean. These worn out Airacobras
were mainly used by the Italians to train pilots
on the new equipment. The aircraft with the
Jig-Jig insignia on the nose was photographed
with other decommissioned P-39s from the
350th FG at an Italian airfield and was probably
one of the first to receive Italian cockades, as
the other aircraft in the picture are still in
USAAF markings. The Italian cockades were
applied directly to the original American
markings at four positions, and two were added
to the upper right and bottom left wing halves.
At the same time, the yellow stripes marking
the aircraft operating within the 12th AF USAAF
were retained. The aircraft has not undergone
any other changes and can therefore be built
in its spring 1943 form, when it was still part
of the 345th Fighter Squadron, thanks to the
alternative US markings offered in the decal.
