    Hi
    It's me again (although I have different nick, as I've lost my old password).
    I came across Solak's log book and I'm wondering if someone can help me with the serial numbers of A/C he flew. Although he was officially assigned to 492nd FS as an Assistant Operation Officer, he flew T-Bolts of 493rd and 494th as well. He also, once, flew P-47 from 389th FS, 366th FG.
    May 1944:
    F4-V, F4-B, F4-F, F4-X (492nd FS)
    6M-P (494th FS)
    A6-A (389th FS)
    June 1944:
    F4-W, F4-X, F4-Q, F4-M (492nd FS)
    6M-N (494th FS)
    July 1944:
    I7-E (493rd FS)
    F4-C, F4-B, F4-KK (?), F4-H
    August 1944:
    F4-Y, F4-V (his unlucky A/C)
    Please also see Solak's comments about his last flight
     
    Regards
