• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Bushmasters was the nickname of the 78th FS/15th FG, and they adopted one as their logo.
They had their training in 1944 on Hawaii, flying P-47's, before converting to P-51's and moving to Saipan and later Iwo Jima.
I've painted a few of their P-51's earlier (here's one: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.php?lloc=downloads&loc=downloads&page=info&FileID=10477), but here's a repaint of the aircraft flown in Hawaii by the CO, Major James van de Hey:
