Davejb Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 From what I have found , it appears that the 556th was part of a Bomb Squadron that was attached to the 8th and 9th Air Forces in WW2, there logo was a Tiger sitting on a bomb, but there were other units with the same 556th logo, whether this is the correct unit , it is hard to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
