PTO Kill Marks

Thu Nov 15, 2018 2:00 pm

Lately I've been studying the various kill marks used inn the Pacific Theater during WWII. I'm sure
we're all familiar with the "meatball" flag and the "rising sun" used to denote aerial kills. I'd like to
see examples of other types, ship kills perhaps. Please post photos of what you have. We can all
learn something.

Thanks,
Owen

Mission markings rather than kills, but:
Watering cans for diesel spray missions - used by RNZAF Avengers, not sure about the USN.

Yeah, it comes as a shock to many that we were actively trying to starve by-passed garrisons.
