Re: War Weary - Time Expired Aircraft
Here are quotes from American Eagles 4 - P-51 Mustang Units of the 8th Air Force on page 56.
"Mustangs being in short supply, the [OTU] was the recipient of cast-offs from operational units."
"...and the WW (War-Weary, which indicated that the aircraft was time-expired and therefore unfit for further combat)..."
I understand the cast-off process and agree with all the comments above. It's the "time-expired" comment that I was wondering about.
