Re: Color footage in Italy
The 111TRS originally used flight letter ( A-B-C) plus aircraft letter in Italy, then N plus aircraft letter on their F-6Cs; 42-103578 NJ "Val Gal II" is thought to be the first aircraft to land in S. France Aug. 1944. They transferred from Twelfth AF in Italy to France in August ( to the Provisional Recon. Group ) which was designated as the 69th TRG in April 1945 when code was changed to N5 plus letter. They usually had thin red diagonal tail stripes. Note the camera ports on the F-6s.
The yellow rudder B-17 is 463BG, the P-47s from the 57FG with their yellow tail and wing bands. Nick
