No.2 P-61 418NFS Phillipines ; Gloss Black (Jet) with red serial not readable.
No.3 P-40Ns, could be 49FG but may be some transferred to the 71TRG when the 49th converted to P-38s in 1944 and high numbers retained.
No.4 Boston III, 22 Sqn. RAAF, DU-L may be A28-10. Morotai 1944.
No.5 PV-1 Ventura; 874 could be Bu.No. 34874 (VPB-146 on Moratai).
No.6 C-46 ? names may be 2 girls, Pat and Rachel.
No.7 A-25A Shrike 41-18798 possibly 13FS in Florida, an RTU unit; the dot between the first 2 numbers are seen on other trainers / tow-tugs in the US (later RA-25A).
