Subject: 47th Bomb Group, 86th Bomb Sqdn, "The Lone Prowlers"

I have my Father’s squadron book of the 86th Bomb Squadron, The Lone Prowlers, during World War 2. LTC Marion S. Akers was the commanding officer.

I am attempting to finish a 1/48th scale model of an A-20J. I have enough info to make a plane of the 86th, but I would love to make my Dad’s plane. I have gone through the book with a magnifying glass looking for something to identify my Dad’s plane, all without success.

Lord willing, someone out there might be able to help me. Looking for pictures, patches, jackets. . .whatever you have of the 86th that I can identify my Dad’s plane.

My beloved Father went to be with the Lord July 1966, a year before I learned the horrors of war. As a Navy Corpsman, I did two tours with the Marines in Nam (1967 – 68 and 1969 – 70).

Thank you for all your help.
