Re: 379th Bomb Group - B-17G Flying Fortress - "Ol' Gappy" Question?????

In Robert A. Watkins' book referenced in edwest's post above, it states that in Aug 44, existing 379 BG markings were ordered removed and replaced by a 10' triangle made up of 24" wide yellow bands, with the "K" in the center of a central black triangle. In addition, the group removed the side squadron codes and replaced them with a number at the top of the yellow triangle indicating the squadron. There is no mention in the book about any further changes in tail markings during the war.
