Re: FM2 Wildcat Carrier (CVE) marking

VC-88, when on the USS Saginaw Bay CVE-82 (part of TG 52.1) used twin lighting bolts on the tail.

See #19 description on this link:
https://books.google.com/books?id=9a...20tail&f=false

Also here (for what it is worth) are model planes of VC-88 showing twin lightning bolts.

This is labeled as the tail of a Wildcat of VC-88 when on the Hoggart Bay, so it may be that VC-88 used them on a couple of tours.
