Hello forum members, I have a black and white image of the line drawings for the 505th Bombardment Group and it's Squadons emblems, I am seeking help with anyone who may have leads to thier proper colors .

They are from a WW2 era pamphlet , but I have yet to be able to find any online pages that have them shown in colors, I have contacted the online site people , but am asking for forum members help as they seem to have better leads (or at least I hope so ) :D
They had to have been drawn originally by someone in the Group and it would seem "records" should be out there somewhere of the details/colors.

Anyway , I can e mail the image to you if you PM me your e mail addy , thanks very much and I really hope to recieve some replies, have a great day all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. the unit was under the 20th AAF Command and was a B-29 unit out of Tinian.

Can't find it in Maurer, the squadrons I see listed are 482 483 484 485, would that be correct? I only see an emblem listed for the 482nd.
