Re: USAAF aircraft record cards WW2: translation!

Thanks Phil, so no spelling error then.

Nice to have an appx date when UGLY became SOXO (I haven't actually tried to figure that out....)

CON means condemned
AFMSC means 'loss reason obtained from HQ USAAF'

There are no digits after AFMSC I suppose? Any such numbers would explain in more detail the reason
for its loss.

With regard to the A and R letters, I have no explanation for them. Possibly, and this is a guess, the
A stood for assigned while R stood for return.

Cheers
Stig
