Re: 86th Fighter-Bomber Group
Well Chris perhaps it's lucky I did buy it then....
In the book "86th Fighter Group in WWII" by Steve Luce (ISBN 0-9721060-8-1) the author states that the sqns were issued with code letters: 525FS 'V'; 526FS 'L' and 527FS 'T'. There are only a few photos in the book that show a/c using the sqn code letter most photos show only a single individual code letter. In addition to the diagonal stripe on 527FS, he identifies a white painted rudder trim tab as the 526FS marking. He does not identify a colour marking for 525FS.
