Hey, John!
No, but if you have Aircraft Nose Art by J Wood (and it appears in a few
others), you'll see an A10 with the ladder door art marked "SweetMeat" from a
St. Louis radio station mascot. You may also recognize one of the artist'
names on the door... :)
I'll have to look in one of my B17 books. I seem to recall something with that
name...
Cheers!

Hi Gerald,
I have books on bomber and fighter nose art and don't see any listing or
photo for "Twin Zephyr", but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. More than
likely
"Twin Zephyr" has nothing to do with the Q or trains, most bombers had
scantly
clothed girls on them.
