The following are negative numbers in the National Archives. There is a previous posting with how to order photos. Basically, you can get a xerox of the photo to see if you want to get a copy, then you can order photos from companies that can pull negatives and the archives will gie you info on the companies. The negatives may be crews and the plane, the plane, a-2 jacket nose art, etc.
Shade Ruff - A65440AC, 65451AC, B65782AC, also Valant's book on Nose Art
Gloria J. - none known
Shade Ruff 2 - My resource has the same numbers as Shade Ruff #1, plus 65460AC and B65705AC and the Group "Blue Book" annual. For the three that are the same - either only "Shade Ruff" was visible or maybe #2 didn't have a 2 on it. Some planes were just named by the crew and didn't have nose art. There were also crews with nicknames no matter what plane they flew.
