Nose art 387th BG

Hello,
I'd like to know if the 387st BG used aircraft names such as "Patty's" or something like that, together with a naked blond lady seen from the back with little wings on her feet. She is also holding a bomb in her hands.
If you have the book "Art of the flight jacket", take a look at page 88 for an example of such a painting.
As I can't upload the picture of what I mean on the forum, you'll have to take a look at my website, click on USAAF flight jackets and it's the last image.
And does someone knows of a certain Lt. Tommy Soul?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards,
Michael

Michael, saw the photo on your website, looks more like 381st BG than 387th BG to me. Checked my list of B-26 Marauder names (not complete, of course), but no "Patty's" in 387th BG. "Patty's Pig" was 323rd BG, and "Patty Kay" was 397th BG. Checking databases for Lt. Tommy Soul gives no results regarding MACR or accidents. At NARA there is one Thomas F. Soul, but he enlisted as Private in 1944.
