Re: Livery of a B17 in 1944
43-37527 ( 2nd photo) evidently had the full-colour markings before Eighth AF units were notified that the 1st. Wing was adopting them in mid-July; she was damaged by flak on her 6th mission on July 6 before the IP point and turned back, belly-landing in Kent--note red colours on fin and tailplane, they must have been marked-up between 13 June and 6th July.........
