| Came across this in the WWII US Air Force Photo Archive, and thought it was such a good photo I'd better post it up.<br/> I don't think we have a copy in our NARA Collection:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/BettysrevengeFormation.jpg' /><br/> <br/> IW-G 42-107084 "Betty's Revenge" can be seen lower left, with the rest of the 401st in tidy formation behind.<br/> The lack of black edgings to the yellow fin stripe indicates the photo was taken sometime between mid August and early September 1944.<br/> <br/> For reference, this is NARA Photo ID 55253AC.<br/> <br/> All the best,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>

| Paul,<br/> <br/> Wow, a what nice photo.<br/> <br/> There are so many nice photos in the forum and I am wondering if they will eventually be added to the gallery? This way they could be placed in  a group or category...just a thought.<br/> <br/> <br/> Jackie <br/><br/><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://www.donald-byers.com/JackieSharpSig.jpg' /><br/>

| Here's a crop from NARA Photo 27177AC:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/mission6.jpg' /><br/> <br/> The top two B-17s are from the 401st, that on the right being the first time I've seen IW-H 42-31064 "Hey Lou" in a photo.<br/> This photo was taken during Mission No.6 to Ludwigshaven on the 30th December 1943, the day before "Hey Lou" was lost in action.<br/> <br/> The B-17s lower down are from one of the 401st's sister Groups in the 94th Combat Wing, the 351st from Polebrook,<br/> Right down at the bottom are some B-24s from the 2nd Division.<br/> <br/> All the best,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>
