Seeking info. on P-47 pilot and group/squadron

[Revi16]

There may be some confusion with the serial number 288459.
288459 would be AAF s/n 42-88459, but that s/n did not exist.
There was a P-47N-5-RE 44-88459 though, but it most likely never left the USA. http://www.aviationarchaeology.com/s...459&Submit4=Go

Additional confusion with 9th Air Force, 10th Fighter Group, 50th Fighter Squadron.
Could possibly be, IX Fighter Command, 84th Fighter Wing, 50th Fighter Group, 10th Fighter Squadron, which flew P-47's.
