I share with you some photos of a Boeing B-17 bomber with an exotic and unusual camouflage. Does anyone know if this plane entered service and what the function of this painting? I count on your visit.

This was 42-3441 "Spotted Cow" of 384th BG. A very well known bird.
She wore thise scheme after she was declared war weary. Served as Assembly ship or weather ship out of Grafton Underwood.
