View above of the B-26G Marauder s/n 44-60136 of the 320th Bombardment Group’s 442nd Bomb Squadron, USAAF. The type of camouflage reveal a photo taken after late 1944 when the 320th moved to Dijon, France. According the 320th BG’s history, ETO brass ordered that all tactical aircraft at bases in France be given a top coat of green paint to conceal them from the air as they sat on their hard-stands. This at first was done in the field. Medium green 42, or the RAF equivalent, was sprayed, or in some cases crudely brushed, on the upper surfaces only. Victor Sierra
