the book it comes from only lists '3rd Bomb Group' and does not specify which squadron within the group.

The 13th had "Oscar" on the nose, where the other Sqdns had "Oscar" under or slightly forward of the horizontal stabilizer..

that would be correct for 'Big Nig' and 'Little Isadore'
and would make 'Patches' also a member of 13 BS.

Dick Walker, X-Co of the 13th, believes the pic was taken at Nadzab... Here's my good friend Jim "Two Gun" Brown in his 8th Sqdn G model "BUB'S BROTHER" Notice where "Oscar" is painted

very interesting...do you know what color the fin/rudder tips are for the 8th,13th and 90th squadrons ?
why is the GrimReaper called 'Oscar' ?
do you know the meaning of 'Bub's Brother'?
when I saw the photo I quessed that bub was short for beilzabub , meaning another name for the devil.
