Don't think it is a "B" rather a panel or some cover that looks like it. Simply look up the skin for one on Google.  :salute

If you look close there's also a 'C' just to the right of the 'B'

If you view the pic under a magnifying glass, tiny Latin script becomes visible.
It translates as: No wonder you don't have a girlfriend."

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

Tally ho old boys, I'm going to put the letter "B" in the metal of the typhoons in this screenshot I'm submitting to HTC.  Let's see who wastes a thread to talk about.  Bob's your uncle. Cherrio. 

I believe the quote above has your answer.

Well I had to look.  It's not a B.  It's an access panel, most likely a springloaded hand hold spot or something similar for the pilot or ground crew climbing up onto the wing.

The pilot at the front of the title screen is most definitely the better looking one    :aok
