Not to be a poop, but what's all that paint hiding? Damage history? Not that there's anything wrong with that, most Ercoupes (including mine) have been rolled up into a ball a time or two. But red and white with USAAF stars and bars? Must look like a captured Ruskie Yak hybrid! I dunno. To me the Ercoupe is the ultimate peace-time aircraft. If it should have any insigniae they should be great big peace signs. Think about it. They came about when the world was ready for peace, fun, and family. Father and youngster enjoying the air in a world free of Hitler, Mussolini, and likewise bastards. The idea of one having military insignia (even though I know some did) is sort of like running a basset hound up to a bad guy and saying 'sic em.' Yeah. right. Might lick him to death.
