Sure looks like the fuselage star on the T-6 is upside down…

I’m thinking perhaps Scott can make a sticky of this thread. For the purpose of easy access study and research for the WIX members who find these images interesting and informative. I have a couple hundred more images to clean up and post still.

I’ll leave it in the management’s hands.

If it WAS printed backwards/upside down, how come I can still read US Army and the other insignias?

There are quite a few examples of the star and bar being applied incorrectly. I have a shot of a T-33 somewhere, where the star is the wrong shape too. I'm thinking that some was deliberate while some probably due to not having a clue.

Another T-33, this time with weirdly-proportioned star:

Good work! Confirms my backwards ruling-out of dates before 46 and after early 47. I'm assuming the show was May 1947?
