Don't believe they were black.  They were on the Canal.  Not much reason for it in AH to be honest.
They are black.

Hijack Much?  :huh

So why aren't these stars allowed? IMO i don't see why. the B-25's Launched off the Carrier in the Dolittle raid Had those stars...and that was in April of 1942.

Its not the stars that aren't allowed its some of the planes that they were painted on that weren't used after the U.S. joined the war. Just like some F4U4s that were used in Korea with the red, white, and blue star and bar. If the paint scheme wasn't used in WWII HTC will not allow it.

Hmm.  Love to see the photos.  Only one I've seen looks to be OD/Gray with the radar antenna out the side of the nose

Yes they were sent into harms way.  It was a pair of 38Js that were OD on top and black undersides.  There were also two 51s used.  I can give you the specific time frames too, but I'm on a laptop with a little guy next to me so the books are not in reach at the moment :)

I would be very interested WHERE they were tested, and for how long. Thanks, if you've got the info.

There are B-17's that had the stars in the Battle of midway.
P-40's that had them
B-25's That were launched during the Doolittle raid had them

All these events Occurred in WWII BUT before the switch to the new American signal they HAD the stars.

America Joined the war in 1941. All these planes had the Stars.

So, Why not?

Find a picture of a B17G with the marking you're talking about.

I predict the response will be, "That is not a B-17G".
