"Tall in the Saddle," serial unknown, was originally flown by Captain Wendell Lucas, and later by Lt. George Hardy with 99th FS, 332nd FG in 1945. Hardy was a replacement pilot, and did not have a plane of his own. When Lucas completed his tour, he decided to stay on as an operations officer, and asked Hardy if he would like to fly his plane. Hardy would go on to fly 21 missions. Images of this aircraft show it both with only a simple blue cowl band and also a blue and white check cowl band with accompanying noseart.
