...if you paint P-38 murals on your wall.  This great photo was apparently taken in Foggia, Italy, around 1944 -- but we haven't been able to verify exactly where this beautiful mural was painted. (If any of you recognize it, let us know and we'll add the info here.)  Check out what they were using for ashtrays!  Diffused, of course.

...if you make a boat out of spare P-38 parts!

This is an unusual use for a P-38 tank.  Aileen Lim, whose father was Chief, 4th Photo Tech Unit, sent in this photo of him and his friend, Vernon Woods (also in the 4th Photo Tech Unit), who took an auxiliary gas tank from a P-38 and made it into an outrigger boat.  (That's her dad, Anthony A. Garra on the left.)

The photo was taken by the Signal Corps and was found in the National Archives in the "Recreation" category.  As you can see, someone wrote "Ingenuity" on the side of the photo.  Fun!

Very cool decal, which the contributor created himself. He said he MAY start producing them for sale.  If he does, we'll let you know.
