Alert signal?

One group I've read about indicated the following day would bring a mission, a stand down, or a possible mission by displaying different color flags.

In the "12 O'Clock High" film, a mission was indicated by turning the stein in the club around.

What did the 401st do?

Thanks. :)

Stein used to alert crews to missions in 12 O'Clock High

As a side note, in 12 O'Clock High, the stein on the mantle of the fireplace used to alert the crews to missions disappeared after the movie. Back in the early '90s, a company made replicas based on original movie stills in a collectible series and as an unlimited run. I got one of the collectibles. All I need is a mantle to put it on........
