                                    <td style='vertical-align: top;'>You will probably be swamped with 401sters who flew on D-Day in B-17's and they will confirm that we did NOT have black and white stripes on our B-17 bombers. I flew on Madame Queen IN-Q in the 613th and our target was coastal defenses at Omaha Beach at Ver-sur-mer.The fighters and some B-26's had them to preclude our own troops from firing on friendly aircraft as they did during the war in Italy.<br></td>
