From the December 2014 issue of American Indian magazine there's an article about a Kiowa man named Horace Poolaw, who was based at MacDill Field training aerial photographers, and doing some photography himself. From the article:
So, are there any other photos of Linda Sue! known to exist, showing the serial? The tail and fuselage code would have been M S4. Note that it has the small windows in the windscreen, and didn't go through the Cheyenne mod center (no cheek guns).But Poolaw had made one particular acquaintance among the German POWs, a man Corky remembers as Kraus. Kraus was an artist, and used one of the photographs of Linda that her father had taken during a precious visit home as a model to paint her portrait on the fuselage of a B-17. The plane was henceforth dubbed the “Linda Sue.” Although Horace took a self-portrait with the final artwork, his children can’t be sure whether the man standing next to him is the talented painter; he remains unidentified.
