Hallo Marko,
I believe the PE stands for Port of Embarkation, which ties in nicely with New York. The ASC is probably the US-based Air Service Command and not the AFSC (Air Force Service Command) in the ETO. The PAO I will have to guess. It could be Prepared for Action Overseas or similar. I know of a POM, which stood for Prepared for Overseas Movement. I again guess the cards you are looking at are for aircraft sent across the Atlantic as deck cargo on ships. Hope this helps, Martin Gleeson. |

A P-38 record card
After the PAO is PPJ90840RD than typ and serial number and 2365 6 26 4200
Now, the funny thing is that the the date of arrival? to Italy is the same as in PAO line, what is impossible. OHAM stands for? (I know that it is for planes in Italy in 15th AF) Best regards, Marko |

Marko,
OHAM is indeed the shipping code for the Fifteenth AF, Bari, Italy. According to the explanation I have the 'Dates of assignment/receipt in theater are indicated by 'R' and 'A' followed by date'....Could it read something like PADPELT or PAOPELT like my card ? Here it says PJ92793RD and the last number can't be a date ! Regards, Paul |
