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

Good evening Mark !

It seems more likely, to be an individual identification sign of the 41st Combat Bomb Wing (CBW). 303rd, 379th and 384th BG's had the same shaped surrounding line, but in another colour. Other CBW's had also significant wide spaced colour shapes on the ac's tail are, but each CBW had it's own shape or figure.

All the best !
