All explained (geez shocking pink) except for the decidedly British tri color on the tail.

She was going for a modified North Africa scheme (with a lot of artistic license), USAAF aircraft used red spinners and an RAF fin flash as theater markings in North Africa.

She also had a private chart business with all pink twins (Golden Eagles or 414s? It’s been a while!) flying around the Midwest too. Sort of the Mary Kay of aviation.
I saw her fly this P-40 many times at the old Kalamazoo air show.

“Charter” business… Missed the typo.
I remember the first time we had one of those pink twins in at Jackson I saw the outbound was for Kalamazoo. I asked the pilot (a guy, imagine the embarrassment!) if they were owned by Sue Parish. I expected maybe a laugh, but he confirmed she owned the company and they had several aircraft. I saw them a few times after that, but this wasn’t long before she passed and I think the company went away at that point.
