    French Transport Plane Insignia WWII

    Can anyone help me identify the squadron/plane that flew under the Wolf's Head insignia (see attached)? It is reported to be from a French transport plane shot down in North Africa in 1945.

    Thanks.

    Between 1940 and 1946 this squadron used BLOCH 210, DOUGLAS DB7 and B 26 MARAUDER.
