Gents, thank you. Col, there is film evidence, that code of 43-15083 was 4J-D, so then it was in 305th TCS.
Thanks,
Gabor

Hello
43-15083 was 305th TCS only at the time of the film!..
Because it's not unusual that C-47s changed from squadron or groups during the war.
And Col Bruggy is right.
#43-15083 was before in the 440th TCG - 98th TCS and, for example, dropped 9 Paratroopers of Btry 'C' - 376th PFA on DZ 'N' in Serial A-23 on September 17, 1944.
