One good example is there is a page of Code Letters. Code letters are combinations of letters and numbers that identify what unit a plane belongs to. Example: HV = 27th Squadron 1st Group 12th Air Force. Great illustrations. Organization is a bit confusing and I was hoping to find the evolution of the national insignia. BUT worth the price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Primer to USAAF ETO/MTO Fighter Markings! *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2010* Originally published in Japan in 2006, AMERICAN FIGHTERS OVER EUROPE was translated and released in the States in 2007 by Kalmbach Publishing. Whatever its origins, this book is an absolutely first-class guide to the paint schemes and markings worn by USAAF fighter aircraft operating in Europe or the Med. Chock-full of top-notch profiles and numerous color pix, AMERICAN FIGHTERS OVER EUROPE should appeal to modellers and air combat buffs alike.Topping out at 106 pages, the book is divided into four chapters: Prewar Paint Schemes and Markings; Paint Schemes During World War II; Unit Markings; and Details. The Prewar chapter runs to eight pages and features a comprehensive description of 1919-1941 markings, four color paint chip charts; color profiles of P-36s, P-38s, P-39s and P-40s, some of which are multiple-views; one color photograph; five b&w pic; etc. The Paint Schemes chapter is divided by Theater and then Fighter Group. Also included are sections on kill/sortie markings, Invasion stripes, Aces' aircraft, etc. The Unit Markings chapter is broken down by Air Force (8th, 9th, 12th, 15th) and then FG. And there's much, much more.The book boasts over 300 color profiles, detail images, unit markings, etc. and almost 150 color and b&w pix; talk about eye-candy!To my mind, AMERICAN FIGHTERS OVER EUROPE is a must-have. It features tons of well-drawn illustrations, concise but informative captions, lots of photos and all for $21.95! Highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/15270296-american-fighters-over-europe-colors-and-markings-of-usaaf-fighters](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/15270296-american-fighters-over-europe-colors-and-markings-of-usaaf-fighters) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
