Thanks. I see the symbols explained. Any idea about the “III”?

Typicaly when a pilot changes planes, he’ll add another number to it. “Shirley Jane” may have been a P-40, while “Shirley Jane II” may have been a P-47 razorback. I believe Chuck Yeager was up to “Glamorous Glenn IV” by the end of the war.

That's a question I have had for a long time too. When my father passed we found an old newpaper clipping with a "local boy of interest" story about him flying a mission in his P-47 "Lady Liz IV".
Never found out what happened to Lady Liz I - III.

75thOVI Post #10 sounds most logical to me. Otherwise I haven’t a clue.
