Re: P-47D Project 90240R

Unfortunately no, I have no date.
I know that the first "Lend-Lease" P-47Ds were delivered to the French Air Force in Northern Africa under the Project # 90614F (April 1944).
If Project numbers were alloted in chronological order, it means that "my" P-47 should have been shipped much earlier, say late 1943.
However, as the French were the only foreign "customers" for P-47 in Northern Africa, I assume that, as you said, this one was assigned to a US dispatching pool.
