It's a fairly recent airshow picture ... Dick Bong died in an airplane crash in 1946(?).

That it was a recent picture is obvious, and Dick Bong died in a crash the day of the Hiroshima bomb in August 1945.
I was just trying to bring Bong's name into the discussion as the famous P-38 pilot, but I see someone beat me to it.
