Re: Captured P-47 - Beetle
At the time of capture, the aircraft would have been marked only with the white IFF marking on nose and empennage. It would not have have had a colored cowl or rudder.
Interestingly, the 355 FG assigned the 358 FS yellow for cowl and rudder. But this was done after march '44 and applied only to the P-51s which the unit received in March of '44.
The cowl does look a different tone than the yellow prop tips, but that may be due to the different yellows.
