| I would like to know the letter that goes on the tail of the plane beneath the number and on the side of the Carrie B II besides the letters IN.<br/> <br/> I'm not sure if it's called a "call letter" but I know the 612th - 615th each had a letter. This info is<br/> for the detail on a jacket being painted for my Uncle. He does not remember the letter. The <br/> jacket is being worked on right now and we were going to leave the letter off but I thought I'd check <br/> here. He was in the 613th Bomb Group. <br/> <br/> Thanks!<br/> <br/> Josie &#x1f642; <br/><br/><br/>

| According to Aircraft search on this site: 42-97344 (Carrie B II) was IN-P (613) My dad was TT on Carrie B III for several missions, after Jill's Jalopy, his plane, went down <br/><br/><br/>

| Josiegn:<br/> <br/> 'Tried to send you a direct reply, but not sure that works, so repeating here:<br/> - - I've heard this 'IN-P' called 'squadron code ('IN' = 613Sq as Don noted; and 'P' = aircraft designation in-squadron;<br/> - - I can E-mail you a close-up of the tail of 'IN-C', also an early camo-colored B-17 (for jacket layout template) - E-mail me at [mailto:win-z@comcast.net|win-z@comcast.net];<br/> - - Did your Dad fly in the 'Lippert Crew'? 'Their' plane was 'Jill's Jalopy', and their tail gunner is an active 401st  Association Member. <br/> - - And lastly, if your Dad has Crew photos or of 'Carrie-B II' or 'Jills Jalopy' - we'd sure like to see them (Don Byers can probably best describe 'how to'); <br/> - - And really lastly - would like to see a photo of your jacket when done. Great project - good luck with it!<br/> <br/> Win Bryson <br/><br/><br/>

| Josiegn:<br/> <br/> Hey Don here is Win is correct IN-P = Squadron - Designation of the Aircraft. Would sure love to see it also.  What are we looking at as some date and time I was looking to have one made also.  I assume you have the squadron patch being painted on also?<br/> <br/> I can also up load it to the Internet provider where the Forum is and then be able to post it under this subject/topic.<br/> <br/> All the Best to you and your uncle<br/> <br/> Don <br/><br/>Sgt. Donald C. Byers, 613th Bomb Squadron, Togglier, 42-97344 Carrie B II, KIA 08/24/1944.<br/>
