Bomb Totin' Mama on early formation flight(s), most likely in February of 1944 when the group was nearing combat readiness. These two images were most likely taken on the same flight from a different perspective. Note the lack of the group's "Circle-K" identifier on the tail of Bomb Totin' Mama in both photos, and no insignia is visible on upper right wing in photo on the right. She is the third aircraft from the left in the right photo.
