IMAGEThree pilots pose with a 336th Fighter Squadron Mk Vb Spitfire, freshly painted in US markings. The new insignia did not come with USAAF codes, 4th Fighter Group Spitfires instead retaining their RAF codes - in this case, 'MD' for the 336th FS. The Group flew its final Spitfire mission on 8 April 1943.
