Notes
• This aircraft number is confused with 44-10518. It appears on many records.
• Tom Brittan has uncovered hard evidence that this aircraft never left the United States. See Footnotes.
• The 458th BG agrees,. Their records show that they obtained 44-10518, and not 42-50518, from the 492nd during August.
