This would be the correct angle to look at a 50.

The best part of the visit. Dorothy(wife of the collector) say in her broken pigeon english, "P-38 lighting....plane that shot down Yamamoto". I could not believe I heard that. From then on I had a great respect for her, she knew the type of everything there.[&o]

Wing with early in the war star

Full wing with old star. It was a rather larger wing and my guess was TBF?

Dorothy is mega-cool.
Looks like a TBF; surprised to see the meatball star rondel that late. When did that phase out?

She was VERY COOL. Since I had a hard time understanding her I underestimated her. Bad on me. She knew what was there.
I can only guess on the TBF wing that it could of been from the Sara or Big E sqd's based at Henderson for a while when their ships were being repaired.
