Re: P-38 crash in Drvar, Bosnia, in September 1944.
Rainer, good work.
I went ahead and created a spreadsheet for P-38s in that range, looking at the MACRs for the serial numbers or the engines and the guns.
Note: Unknown X-55 has 50 cal guns 1190815, 1190382 and 1294465
X-55 has one engine serial number at A-047489.
X-55 had 20mm as 120206
Just comparing some serial number ranges:
Looking a the MACR serial numbers and trying to find any that have "close" numbers, it turns out that
44-23144 (which was in the 459th) had engines A-047609 and A-047216 and 50 cal numbers 1190346, 1190353
44-23147 had engines A-047741 and A-047203 and guns 1190821 and 1190385.
44-23188 had engines A-049627 and A-049421 (not so "close") but had guns 1190304 and 1190333.
This "might" suggest that the unknown plane was somewhere close to those.
The 11908xx and 11903xx show up individually in several other planes in your range, but it appears that the only multiple "close" matches occur in those above.
