Nope.
Yeah, that is pretty small for a B-17. I'm thinking British.

That's the same plane right down to the fiberglass lower cockpit cover. So, is it a B-17 or not?

I'm pretty sure It does. The 2 on the mid-lower left show the USA star emblem only- US Air force. The one on the right has the same star but surrounded by what looks like a simple carrier emblem. Navy.

Douglass A-20. awesome. I'm pretty sure the B-17 was a 4 engine. Didn't notice that on the first photos.

Just a technicality, the US Air Force didn't exist until 1947. And the two different markings on the plane in the pics are both Army Air Corps markings.

Yeah I know-1947. Maybe the photos are post 1947. Has to be an answer why the different planes in that formation have different decals.

KInda, but not really. They can pass and Truman can sign but creating a new military branch is going to take some time. I'm guessing with LeMay in the wings, it probably went pretty quick.

Favorite LeMay story. Probably early 1960's maybe- he's on a worldwide inspections of forward USAF bombing positions. Some air field in the middle of frickin nowhere. Standing next to a jet just leaking fuel everywhere on the runway smoking his Cigar. Some private asked him if that was good idea? It could blow up. Lemay said "It Wouldn't dare". :lol:
