A photograph of plane "Umbriago!" The name translates to drunkard or life of the party. The name at that time in popular culture was the name of an imaginary pal of Jimmy Durante, who was a popular entertainer, who made a recording of a song called Umbriago that was a hit in the 1940's. The side of the plane has a depiction of a man's suit with a floating top hat. The number of missions flown by the plane are represented by a cut off section of painted bombs.
