Re: Captured P-47 - Beetle
Yes, it was late October when the 355th FG began to use squadron colors on the rudder and nose.
The white IFF bands on the cowl and empennage came into use in the 8th AF at the end of February 1943. Not limited to Squadron or Fighter Group. Also oversized national marking (55" or 60") would have been applied under both wings. The red surround on US national marking was from 29 June 1943 to 17 September 1943. Had ortho film been used, red would be nearly black and yellow a dark gray.
