The B-17 with plain black triangle is the Group Pathfinder, there were others in the 1st. Div. with similar marking eg. 401, 351, 457BGs. 4. LB-30 Liberator II "Blonde Blitz", RAF serial AL628 taken on by AAF, sent to 397BS / 6BG (Sixth AF) in Panama for canal defence; returned to US and converted to C-87 transport. 6th. BG was disbanded Nov.1 1943 and re-formed as a Pacific B-29 Group in XXAF. 397BS assigned to Sixth BC. She has anti-sub. camouflage, OD over white with large serial on tail. 5.

Photo 5...... 42-94744 was a B-24H-15-FO and camouflaged so not her. 7-8.

Thanks Ed.
