Interesting that two A-24B were lost in 1945. I guess that they were trainer or liason planes.

Interesting that the 59th FS flew first with P-40s. Terry, the 459th FS flew P-38 from 1943, but was assigned to 33d FG only in 1945. Probably this is the reason why the first losses were in june. I think that previous lhttp://forum.armyairforces.com/fb.ashx?m=153626Sun, 18 May 2008 07:01:16 GMTI have found P-38 losses starting with, 58FS - Dec 44, 60thFS- Mar 45, 59FS - Apr 45, 459th - Jun 45. Terry T.http://forum.armyairforces.com/fb.ashx?m=153571Sat, 17 May 2008 15:05:21 GMTI am getting this info from volume II of The Fighting 33rd Nomads. After arriving in the CBI at Karachi, India, in March 1944 the 59th FS was given P-40N's and sent to China. The 58th and 60th recieved P-47D's at the end of that month. http://forum.armyairforces.com/fb.ashx?m=153562Sat, 17 May 2008 14:03:41 GMTHi, I'm looking info about when the P-38s entered in service in 33d FG in CBI. Did whole squadrons convert to P-38 or did they fly a mix of P-38 and P-47.
