Cooper

"This is another of the eight P-40's that were built from the salvage yard at Kwelin,China.The guys that are running an air speed indicator test are Art Rodriguez...Major Matthews...?...Joe Cooper. Joe was the crew chief on this project." Notation of the nose of the plane seems to say "DEVIL'S KID" and "Mikado Raider II."
"This is a picture of General 'Casey' Vincent's plane The Silver Slipper. The 396th prepared this plane for the General at Kwelin, China. Sgt. Joe Cooper of the 396th was crew chief of the plane. The two guys in the picture are Taylor on the left and Cooper on the right. Taylor was the radio operator on the plane."
