The only photo’s of actual Kill Boards are the ones that the VF-17 Jolly Rogers had.
Would any of you gents have more examples of kill boards from WWII? Preferably USN.

Sorry, don't have any USN kill boards. If you're interested here are some interesting ones I've run across.
Theodor Weissenburger of 7./JG5, Bf 109G, really cool.

Sorry Motherland & Treize69, I should have been more explanatory.
Kill Boards with emphases on "Boards".
Here is an example of what I am looking for; but it is not exactly the one I had in mind. I know there are vast differences between the USN kill boards, I would like to see em. :)

I was thinking the same thing FTJR. Maybe planes destroyed on the ground? Sitting ducks? :)

Somebody's mother.

I have some around here on a USB drive that I still need to locate for the VF-17 guys.

Whats the bird represent?
I would guess "decoy"? I've seen a duck used for decoy on B-24's before where they flew missions over the North Sea to show up on enemy radar and then RTB.

The duck kill marks are clearly for "kills of moot".
In any case, my dear boy, kill boards are something for Church:
