I spoke to a relative of Robert "Pops" Young today. Young's plane WAS named Bo-Yo and it was confirmed that this photo is of the 356th FS and the plane is BO-YO.
(I think there was a plane named YO-YO in another squadron)

356th ac2
According to the TwisterDog account on flickr, these planes are from the 356th FS.
If so check out the plane on the left side and third down. Does it say BO-YO? (or is it YO-YO) any thoughts?
If you click on the photo, it will take you to flickr. Then on top of the photo you can click ALL SIZES and then click the choice of ORIGINAL and that will bring up the highest quality version of the photo.
