Re: S/N of the P38 used by the Luftwaffe

to tell you the whole story and the background :

I am now working on the case of a P38 that belly landed on 5 March 1944 near the French Pyrenees mountains, close to Spain. The pilot escaped but the aircraft was stayed on site, in very good status.

Considering the date, I thought that this very machine might have been recuperated by the German who probably did not yet very well this aircraft type, for testing and trials. Its serial number was 42-67745.

But from what I read, this very P38 did not fly with the Luftwaffe.
