Hello,
W3801 was a named a/c. "Popocatapetl II".
I do not have the book but "Gifts of War" may have the answer to your question.

Hello Alex
I bought and received the book "Gifts of War" I does not have the complete squadron code for the aircraft in question. Aircraft was in No.71 Squadron for a very short time.

Thanks for letting me known about the book.
Cheers
Santiago
