This aircraft was the personal mount of Lt. Col. Robert Baseler, who used it to fly from base to base. Baseler scored his five victories in this specially-modified Warhawk before it was repainted in this striking scheme and taken off operations. The two outboard guns were removed, along with the radio and other non-essential items, to lighten the aeroplane in the hope of making it capable of reaching high-altitude German photo-reconnaissance aircraft. Although its performance was much improved. Baseler never did catch one of the high flying raiders.
