B-17 Flying Fortresses assigned to the 97th Bombardment Group fly into formation over Russia during World War II. The 97th BG was identified by a white triangle with a black “Y” in the middle. For the entirety of World War II, the black and white symbol was proudly displayed on the tail and wings of more than 240 aircraft assigned to the group. (Courtesy photo by Airman Air Museum)
