No 8th AF claims for 109s on 5 April, nor for the 354FG (9th AF) Mustangs - no MTO claims.

In the rest of the ETO the following squadrons had awards.. 12 and 15 RCN Sq/10 PRG (F-6/P-51), 161 RCN Sq/363PRG (Johnston - 4 in F-6/P-51), 377, 379 (Hagen -2) in P-47 and 393 FS in P-47 also. I do not know where these awards occurred but it appears that 10 PRG, and 363PRG are your likely suspects.
