The Mystery of the Doodlebug

Here are the photos. The first is identifiable as B24D 41-23724 "Doodlebug" of the 512th Squadron. I've seen photos from this series elsewhere identifed as taking off for Ploesti, but I tend to go with Kenn Rust's ID in his 9th AF book that has them being photographed taking off from the base at Solluch, Libya.

The second photo is the full photo of plane #20 which is also from the 512th but I can't make out the nose art or name.

Third photo is a close up of the nose showing the nose art and number. I would imagine someone must know the ID of plane #20
