Micdrow there are quite a few shots of this ship. But no unit to be found. You happen to know?
According to the 71st Reconnaissance Group 5th Airforce group on Facebook

Yes, actually. As Edward Rogers said, these are from the 92nd Airdrome Squadron. These are my dad's photos. I had posted them on the WWII subreddit. Plane Number X was his plane and "All Alone and Lonely" was his second plane after X was shot down. He was the ground crew chief. From what I've been able to piece together from folks on Reddit the 92nd was part of the 498th Bomb Squadron in the 345th Bomb Group. Also, the Roman Numerals on the planes were pretty unique. From what I've been able to glean the 92nd was assigned to the headquarters unit of the group. There's a great essay about the squadron called "Hang the Enola Gay" in the book "When War Becomes Personal: Soldiers' Accounts from the Civil War to Iraq." It was written by a member of the outfit.

Its interesting as even Michael Claringbould seems confused.

His quote from Facebook incase you dont have an account.

Thanks Ed and Arthur. Numerous references to this unit throughout other 5th AF unit histories, however as Ed says, never been able to track down a unit history for the 92nd per se.
