Re: 339th Thury and Starnes
The short answer is that both were flying B's.
Jim's first P-51D 44-14113 was not delivered to the Group until 5 August and Joe Thury's 44-13616 was not delivered until 26 June. D models were very few and far between in early June '44 and those that were available, invariably grabbed by the more senior officers.
