After "Paint Strip" - Before Name & Missions were Reapplied

Info Contributor - Robert Tupa
The 90th Bomb Group figured out that the olive drab paint was not very good camouflage, when you were looking up. When it cracked, it created wind resistance, thus reducing speed, plus it added additional weight. PRETTY BABY begins green and this is probably right after the paint removal, leaving only the girl. Printing was easy, but even ugly girls were hard to come by.
