Consolidated B-24
Two of these B-24s illustrate the first major change in the Star-in-Circle insigne in 25 years. To reduce possible confusion with the Japanese Hinomaru ("Meatball") insigne, on May 28, 1942 the red center was ordered removed from the star. The middle B-24 carries a unique non-standard variation of the insigne, possibly resulting from a misinterpretation of existing insignia specifications. (U.S. Air Force photo)
