Black Cat 13

Hi,
I'm researching the 350th BS B-17G 42-32009 named ''Black Cat 13'', LN-X fuselage letters:

Does anyone know did it carry the nose art on the opposite (right) side as well?
Any additional photo would be welcomed!
 
Thanks

    You have probably seen this before, but there is the top photo here of Lt Edward Noordyk and it shows the  right  side of a B-17G.  It is possible that it is Black Cat 13?

    Chobi,
    Your photo shows the ship with 25 mission marks.
    The best reference book for info on Black Cat/13 42-32009 LN-X is Ray Bowden's book, "Plane Names and Bloody Noses, The Hundred Bomb Group (H) " 
    Reference Pages, 266 through 268 with four photos of the ship during its life with the BG. That is Black Cat/13 with Lt. Noordyk in front of the starboard  side. No artwork or name was  on the starboard side of the a/c
    Go to the website www.100thbg.com and do a SEARCH using the name for other info. Also reference the Aircraft by Name database.
    I attached a link to a color photo of the a/c in Russia in June, 1944  Steussy crew  http://www.100thbg.com/mainpages/crews/crews5/steussy.htm
