This AM-1 Mauler is from the NATC and was used for
testing purposes. Finished as most other Maulers in overall navy blue,
it features white codes all around. The number '308' and NATC are repeated
on the lower left and upper right wings.

The Mauler saw only limited active duty service
before being replaced by the much better AD Skyraider. This particular
Mauler shows what an active service one looked like. The spinner tip
was white, while the pennant behind the nose number was red with a
black circle. All the codes are in white, and are repeated in the usual
wing positions.
