I am pretty sure this is "Flak Bait", I think a B-26 from WWII. I have a photo I took at the Smithsonian years ago, but not sure where it is now. I do have a photo I downloaded this morning that looks identical to the one posted, and it includes an A-2 jacket in the foreground with "Flak Bait" on it. I don't know where I can post the photo...if someone who has a spot to load the photo, send me an email and I will send the photo I loaded this morning.
