High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USAAF unit identification aircraft markings, commonly called "tail markings" after their most frequent location, were numbers, letters, geometric symbols, and colors painted onto the tails (vertical stabilizer fins), wings, or fuselages of the combat aircraft (primarily bombers) of the United States Army Air Forces during the Second World War.

Variations of these markings continue to be used in the United States Air Force in the form of tail codes identifying operational wings.
