384th BG L-4 "Flying Weasel"

[43-491]

In researching my father-in-law's missions with the 384th Bomb Group (Group aircraft identification marking was Triangle P), I came across this L-4 that was assigned to the 384th BG named the Flying Weasel. It's quite the non-standard military paint scheme. Looks to be an L-4B, but interestingly it's not fitted with an air filter yet. I can't quite make out the numbers on the tail. Hard to tell what color it is, but I would guess silver. Possibly yellow.
