Col. Raymond T. Lester - DNB July 1943 - P-40 - Egypt

Col. Raymond T. Lester (O-018555) of the (USAAF) 20th Weather Squadron, Cairo, Egypt disappeared on an administrative flight between Cairo and Luxor on 5 July 1943, only to be found dead several days later.
His crashed aircraft was a P-40, no serial known.

The "usual" crash websites (aviationarchaeology, accident-report...) make no reference to this loss.
Would Weather Squadrons like the 20th have had their own aircraft?

Thanks for any info.

Regards,

Leendert
