464th Squadron Color Designations

    Each bomber in each squadron had a letter on its fuselage in its squadron's designated color. For example, (links will open in a new window) the Black "N" - Nan had a black "N" in a white box on both sides of her fuselage. The black "N" indicates that she was from the 779th as their squadron color designation was black.

776th, the Red Squadron 777th, the Yellow Squadron 778th, the White Squadron 779th, the Black Squadron

    If you look, you'll also notice that Black "N" - Nan has no tail markings (as shown below on the bottom-right). She was an "Intruder" aircraft, which was used for bad weather missions with bombings by radar, these were referred to as "single ship" missions.
