There are 98 small bomb symbols painted, not including the big bomb symbol next to the “100”, denoting 98 missions where bombs were dropped. Prior to this time, there had been two missions where there was a recall prior to the target, thus 98 bomb-drop missions and 100 missions total. The 98th mission (not including the two recalls) occurred on January 7, 1945, and the 100th mission occurred on January 13, 1945.
