Re: Photo USAAF Aircraft

Hi Nick

I am not talking about the colours used. I am talking about the markings.
At some point the USAAF began to show the tail numbers (s/n) instead of the unit code on the fin.

By 1942 (if the seller is correct) all USAAF aircraft should have been marked in that way.

That is why I think that most photos are from the 1940-41 period unless USAAF in Hawaii was
exceptionally late to adhere to the new policy/marking rules.

Cheers
Stig
