Many thanks again George,

Hoel so it likely that McCuskey was Flight Officer (#3), with collateral duty as tactics officer. He was not with VF8 when it reformed in January 1945 under LtCdr P.D. Duke.
What is Flight Officer #3? Does this mean he leads the third flight. (Sorry for being dim )

best regards
