The last one photograph of the P-51B/C wreck is interesting. It looks to be a 99FS, 332FG P-51, with the red tail, AX (A1?) Squadron code indicator and what appears to be the squadron crest for the 99th Squadron on the nose.

That does appear to be the case. Click on the top image in the link to enlarge:

There is a yellow and orange version of the squadron crest:

The P-38 in #1995 appears to be a P-38J , s/n 42-104105, 37th FS, 14th FG that crash landed on Hungarian soil on August22, 1944. There is another photo of the other side of this A/C; see : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/F...epan_11085.jpg

Unfortunately, there is no indication of this airplane in Joe Baugher's list nor in the usual MACR list. Based on the date of August 22,1944, the A/C pilot appears to be Lt. Mitchell S. Cwiek, 37th FS POW on this date., since this is the only POW listed on this date in the book "14th Fighter Group in WWII"
