If this shot is of the flight crew of "Our Gang," why does the nose art say "Lady Frances?"

See image http://ww2db.com/image.php?image_id=14840 for a wider view of this aircraft’s nose showing the name “Our Gang” on the nose. I don’t quite remember what I read about the “Lady Frances” painted near the pilot’s position but I seem to think it was a reference to the pilot’s mother.

The pilot is my father. Lady Frances refers to my mother's first name. My father served in the Air Force for over thirty years and retired in 1974.
