P-47D 44-33005 366th FS + 44-20276 395th FS

I search more information to create two aircraft profiles of P-47D and need the support of the forum!

During missions on April 11, 1945, two P-47D´s crashed in the area of Amberg-Schafhof.
The details of these P-47D´s I´m looking for:

1.)
1st Lt. L.M. Lovell, 366th Fighter Squadron/358th Fighter Group USAAF, P-47D "White Lightnin" 44-33005, reason for the crash was anti-aircraft fire.
The MACR 13747 and the war diary is available. I also had contact with Steve Dixon, Webmaster & Historian of the 70th IDA (www.trailblazersww2.org)

The code of the 366th FS was IA, the letter of the aircraft is still unknown.

2.)
2nd Lt. Philip M. Holstine, 395th Fighter Squadron/368th Fighter Group USAAF, P-47D 44-20276, crashed near Amberg, reason: AAA.
MACR 14055 is available, also the history report from April 1945 of the 368th FG. At last I wrote to the 368th FG (www.368thfightergroup.com), wait for feedback.
The code of the 395th Fighter Squadron was A7, the letter of the aircraft is still unknown.

Unfortunately I could not find any reference the ID letter for both aircraft (to the right of the US insignia on the fuselage. So I need support, perhaps some of you have further information about this P-47D´s?

Regards
Matthias
