Re: Allied aircraft photos
Ed the 3 I know are..............
Photo 3. B-29 "Fu-Kemal-Tu" 42-24720 Tri. N/11 (444BG) W. Field Tinian. Green Sqn. colour on fuselage band, prop hubs and cowl rings. She ditched in the Pacific 30/8/45 when flying POW missions.
Photo 4. B-17E "Bataan" stripped down for MacArthur's transport as an XC-108; the insignia is a map of Luzon PI, then he had a C-54 "Bataan II".
Photo 5. B-29 "Jack's Hack" 44-61566 Tri. I/55, 468BG also W. Field Tinian; the red cowling star references the Group's former "Comet and star" design in India. She survived. The B-29 in the New England Air Museum was restored in these markings.
