Jack,

Any idea what the faint markings painted evenly along the nose on "MY KATH". Mission symbols?

Also, what were the colors, black and white nose bands with olive drab upper surfaces?

Thanks,

Greg

top hats for top cover ie bomber escort missions and brooms for fighter sweeps. They had about 6-7 different symbols for various missions they flew.
