92nd Bombardment Group Triangle-B Tail Code T-Shirt

The Triangle-B was the tail marking carried by every B-17 Flying Fortress in the 92nd Bombardment Group. From RAF Alconbury to Podington, through 308 combat missions over occupied Europe, that marking identified the oldest heavy bomb group in the 8th Air Force. This shirt puts it on your chest.

The Marking

The 92nd picked up the Triangle-B at RAF Alconbury in early 1943, when the group transitioned from training replacement crews back to full combat operations. That code stayed on their B-17s through every mission that followed: Schweinfurt. Big Week. Normandy. The Bulge. Pilsen. When the 8th Air Force flew its last combat mission of the war on 25 April 1945, it was the 92nd Bombardment Group, Triangle-B on the tail, leading the formation.

The group was known as "Fame's Favored Few." They lost 154 aircraft and more than 800 men over the course of the air war. The Triangle-B was not decoration. It was identification. Every crew that climbed into a B-17 at Podington flew under that marking knowing the odds.

This is not a generic military shirt pulled from a clip art library. It is a specific design tied to a specific unit with a specific combat record. If you know what Triangle-B means, this one is for you.
