It has been suggested these works may be by New Jersey born John Perrin who flew with the United States Army Air Force, flying fighter sweeps in P-47 Thunderbolts. On American Independence Day, 1944 he was delivering a Mustang Fighter from base workshops at Warton, Lancashire to Steeple Morden in Cambridgeshire when it appeared to catch fire. So as to miss the Tillington Manor Primary School, (then known as Holmcroft Primary) and the nearby houses he stayed with his stricken plane. He was 25 years of age when he was killed. A suggestion has also been made to a more contemporary artist of the same name.
