When was "Flak Bait" retired from combat? I just noticed that there's no indication of any invasion stripes on her anywhere.

Here are some shots of the wing on Flak Bait. I can't see much left of the invasion stripes on the upper surfaces but they are visible on the lower ones. Sorry for the poor pictures. My little Sony camera does better close up than it does for distance. The flash just doesn't cut it.

This photo also shows the remnants of the fuselage stripes pretty clearly (thanks Jack!)
