OUTSIDE OUTSIDE INSIDE
Each Bomb Group had its own markings on the tail and most had a bomb Squadron Code right behind the gunners window. The aircraft serial number always started with the number of the year the airplane was manufactured. If the S/N started with 1, the plane was manufactured in 1941. Some aircraft were painted camouflage green and others were not painted at all except for tail markings to identify the bomb group and squadron. Shortly after its first combat missions the Tail markings changed.
