Re: P-47D Project 90240R

Project 90240R was the 'shipment' id as the aircraft were assigned to any particular unit at that time they were conveyed under a Project number.

I have an example of a B-17 which was lost on its ferry flight to the UK, it was assigned to Project 91116-R.

Earlier in the war such movements by air were assigned to named provisional groups, examples being Knox and Bridges Provisional Groups.
