D8 is the code of the 94th TCS, 439th TCG, 50th TCW
L4 is the code of the 91st TCS, 439th TCG, 50th TCW

So they would be likely to be at the same airfield on the same operation

The 101st was carried in the 438th TCG and 439th TCG. The 439th carried "...the tough young paratroopers of Col.Sink..." The words are from Col Young, leading the 439th in D8.Z.
