USAAF Spitfire Insignias

Want to give a big salute to Capun, Gramps, Charles and

Kesselbrut whose collective efforts resulted in this fine

aircraft. My small contribution in this case wouldn't be

possible without these guys!

Just drop the enclosed bmp into the ObjectsAircraftSpitfire5BT

skin folder. Remember to back up the original BMP. The "M"

letter of the MX-T string on the right fusalage was deliberately

painted lopsided by me. There was an anomaly on the original skin

that kept causing the "M" to split and sag lower than the rest

of the string.

This is Spitfire Vb MX-T, s/n JK707, 307th Fighter Squadron,

31st Fighter Group, July 1943. This Spitfire flew from Maltas

sister island Gozo for a short time before and after the invasion

of Sicily. A belly-landing on the beach at Salerno ended

its days in September 1943, after being hit by friendly AAA.
