Is it OK to post an aviation-related question in this NG and not mention
B*sh or K*rry? The Times published a review last week about a book covering the allied crossing of the Rhine in 1945. The accompanying picture, captioned as being US bombers over said river, showed a formation of B-29s (I don't think they were B-50s) flying over a river with two islands in it. I don't know if it _was_ the Rhine, but as we all know, the photo certainly couldn't have been taken over the Rhine before VE Day. The tail marking was a V in a triangle. The only similar markings I have found documented were those of the 58th BW, whose groups used Triangle S, N, U and I. I have also seen photos of 509th ARefS KB-29Ps with Triangle C markings. Does anyone have any information about what unit wore the Triangle V and where and when the photo was taken? My Google searches have so far turned up only the same question about the Triangle V marking, but no answers. -- Peter Ying tong iddle-i po! |
