I'm sure that if you have the "Mighty Eighth Warpaint and Hearldry" as I do, then you have pretty much what I have ... I do however have another book that I mentioned over on A2A's site, (that at the time of posting the book, Amazon had 10 or so copies in stock, two or three days later, they were out of stock ...) "The USAAF Handbook 1939 - 1945" by Martin Bowman. This book has official sizes and color codes (if I remember correctly,) of the markings for all aircraft manufactured during that time.
All the rest of my 8th collection:
Lets see ...
452nd Bomb Group, Deopham Green, contained the 728th, 729th, 730th, & 731st BS.
Their claim to fame as it were: "More COs than any other Bomb Group during the course of hostilities. A grand total of 9. They flew a total of 7,279 sorties and dropped a total of 16,466.6 tons of bombs, to include 150 tons of supplies after the surrender.
The 452nd lost 110 a/c and claimed 96.5 - 45 - 58 E/A. They recieved the distinguished unit citation on 7apr45 after the Kaltenkirchen mission.
The 452nd had two Medal of Honor Winners: 1st Lt Gott & 2nd Lt Metzger both awarded on 9Nov44.
Based on one of my Group color markings, I think your top yellow bar on your stabilizer is a bit high ...
Thats the best I can do for ya.

Well I have a few that you mentioned...And some of those you listed, I am working on getting...Freeman and Bowmans stuff is awesome!
I have a very close friend that owns a hobby shop...And he becomes privy to 'Modelers Estate' sales!
When he gets someones collections when they pass on, he gives his friends a call and we get get first dibs before he goes public with sale. Sometimes it is really amazing how much "Stuff" modelers have when it comes to books! I'm just as bad..and my wife will be happy when I'm gone!:ernae:
