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.
