Alabama Racoon Figure in Dothan Pilot War Art
In World War II a Dothan, Alabama pilot Lt Wagoner shared a family pet story. A portrait of an Alabama raccoon, long deceased, was painted on a P-4 Thunderbolt. The tale recalls Sambo the raccoon, a local family pet, and links the squadron artist's work to Lt Wagoner who once played football at Dothan High School and enlisted in the Army Air Forces in 1943.
