Red Hot Riding Hood: B-17F 42-3223 (VP-H/R), Douglas - Lost 7/14/43. Note the lack of division & group markings in this photo, they weren't being used yet. Instead we see the original "OQ" squadron markings for the 533rd BS, and the "H" is the individual aircraft letter marked on the waist and above the tail number before it was changed to "R". |
