Re: 56th FG 29 Apr 1943 Lt Winston S. Garth (POW)
A little musing. I assume that the serial of Lt. Garth's P-47 must not have been that far off from Capt McClure's (41-6394). Joe Baugher's website mentions that the latter was only condemned on 31 Oct 1944.
Looking up and down the list in the upper 41-63XX and lower 41-64XX range, I see only 41-6371 without loss and/or assignment details, but also condemned on 31 Oct 1944.
Number is skipped at all in Didier's P-47 database in mentioned serial range...

Looks like I have to apply for an Individual Aircraft Record Card for 41-6371 and hope it gives just that little more info.

Regards,
Leendert
