Baby Alan - 41-39234

Buggs - Unknown Number
Bula - Unknown Number
Denver Darling - 43-22307. ID from Pilot. There was an A-20G named Denver Darling. Lt. E. L. Johnson was the pilot. I assume that when he got his new Invader he carried the name over. Mission logs provide his serial number.
Dorris Lee - Unknown Number
Maggie's Drawers - Unknown number. I have also seen it on a P-51 (42-106485), a B-17 (42-31776), and a B-24. This is a military slang term used to mean a red flag that indicates a miss in target practice.
Miss Laid - Almost certainly named for an A-20G named "Miss Laid".
