P-40s Escorting B-25s

Images of escorting P-40 Warhawks with a painted shark's mouth somewhere over southern China, Indochina, or Burma during WWII, as taken from the tail gunner's window on a B-25 bomber.  Close in is the P-40 nicknamed "Princess," tail number 155.  Who is this man in the cockpit?  This plane is likely of 75th Fighter Squadron, 23rd Fighter Group.

Notice that the P-40 in the background painted with a skull, which is possibly from the 80th Fighter Group (thanks jbarbaud for pointing this out!):

P-40N #155 seems to be a 16thFS bird, but the other P-40 in the distance displays the "white skull" of the 80th FG.


A close-up on this one would be welcome !    jbarbaud    RE:Eugene T. Wozniak Collection

P-40N #155 seems to be a 75thFS/ 23rdFS plane, according to another source, but the other P-40N in the distance displays the "white skull" of the 80th FG.
