                        Thanks Turtle!

                        I figured there was a chance I had things goofed up. Thanks for the reference as well.

                        Fin - "NAVY" above "85162"

                        Rudder - "XBTM-1"

                        Need help identifying Martin XBTM-1 tail markings

                        I'm having trouble figuring out the alphanumeric stenciling on the tail of the Martin XBTM-1 below. This is the clearest picture of the Martin XBTM-1 I could find. I have two of the three alphanumeric stencilings deciphered. The 3rd set has me stumped.

                        XBTM-1 then 85161 (or 85162) on the rudder since those were the only two numbers for the XBTM-1s
                        then below the XBTM-1 stencils ????? is where I'm stumped.



                        Any help much would be much obliged.
