although yes, I am from the south and actually attended The University of Mississippi- the home of the Rebel (and bad football)- I do not fly the stars and bars. That's actually a scan from a pamphlet my fiance got me from the D-Day Museum down in New Orleans. I believe that the aircraft in question is a Grumman TBF Avenger. I can't really tell because I can't see if there's a MG turret on the aft side of the canopy.
anyways, about the badges. i actually came up with that idea while joking with some of the ppl from my platoon here at TBS. got a good laugh. definitely have to love the brakelights
