Fresh kill markings go on Don Gentile's P-51B Mustang 'Shangri-La', while he looks on. The sergeant painting them on is Dick Mansfield, Gentile's assistant crew chief. The chequerboard below the exhaust was a device created by Gentile and his wingman John Godfrey for quick identification in the air.
