Why isnt this marking on the bomber formation essembly ships? Seems this marking was haphazardly done.
 
I just went through "Assembly Ships of the Mighty Eighth" and as you say, the "WW" isn't on any of the bombers. Having said that, the majority of the bombers also don't have serial numbers showing, having been painted over with these fantastic colours. Perhaps the "WW" was there before the colour change over. The majority of the P-47 formation monitors in the book show the "WW" and serial numbers
