Reynolds Bombshell P-47M - what's written on the nose?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I try to find some detailed pictures which clearly show the text written on the nose of Bill Odoms YP-47M "Reynolds Bombshell". I found some pictures on the web, but I just cannot make out the white text written on the blue background between cowling and canopy. Does anyone have photos or digital pictures of this racer to sell or an idea where I can get such?

Cheers,

René

Raceplane Tech vol. 2 only has one photo of it.

unfortunately from the low angle it is taken from I cannot read it.

my guess is that is it a manufacturer/supplier promo.

Yes I have this book - but cannot make out what s written there too. Yanks Air Museum have a nice picture on their side but the resolution is too small and I did not get any reply on my inquery from them if there is a higher resolution of this picture available. On Warbird Aero Press site are pictures from a "Richard Toth collection" - however the resolution is too low and I was not able to find any way to contact Mr. Toth himself.

Thanks,

Rene
