Re: Aircraft Types-three letter codes
Accident Report 46343 on March 23, 1944 has Lt. Wilson (511 Ftr Sqn, 405 Ftr Grp) saying he took off in a FEW, AAF serial 42-76361, so I know that FEW meant a P-47. On Accident Report 46342, March 21, 1944, Lt. Willingham (same unit), flying a slow-time flight, collided with an RAF SOX when he bounced four of them while earlier he had been bounced twice by an RAF PIN. The SOX plane's pilot did not bail out while Willingham managed to make a landing without injury.
