Re:Fearless Fosdick! - 02/22/2008 09:17:34 AM ( #1 )
Hello All,
 
Has anybody any Pictures/Info on the Piper L4 "Grasshopper" hack Light Aeroplane which the 381st used at all?
There are stories that Col.Hall used to fly it in & out of one of the Hangars!!?
They named it "Fearless Fosdick" - Pictured here with Col.Leber posing alongside.
 
If you can help us out in any way or form please let me know.
 
Best Regards - Keith.

Here is a screenshot of a trial remake for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 based on a Piper J3 Cub. Probably not very accurate, but I could not find the exact model plane to 'repaint'.  If anyone can discribe the fuselage markings I would be happy to try to improve this 'reconstructed' view of "Fearless Fosdick".

Al,
 
I'm sure you have seen the photo of Fearless Fosdick in the 381st photo CD.  But if you haven't, take a look in Book Two, at photo #b2-098.
 
Good luck with your efforts.  Sam would be proud.

Is there any more information about Fearless Fosdick out there?! Serial Number? Would she have had D Day markings?
