Re: 20th Bomb Squadron from 2nd Bomb Group (15USAAF)

Jan. I still think it's Insignia Blue not black; look how dark the star/bar is. Roger Freeman, Jerry Scutts and Ed Munday thought Blue.


Regarding the Square "Y" on 2BG planes in March-April it seems the 4 x B-17 groups were allocated it with groups identified by numbers 1--4 underneath ie. the 2nd. had "1" for the first group; 42-31473 MY BABY in a photo above had number "3" for the 99th, the third group in the Wing, before going to the 2BG. That would make sense but could be wrong.
