Philippe:
This is just a guess but I believe that you are looking at 42-13300 of either the 33rd PRS (SW-) or 34th PRS (S9-). I do not have that identity for the serial number but this would be my educated guess. Ted51

Actually, I think it is 43-28300 of the 33rd PRS. Compare this photo from the 33rd PRS website (which is the same photo) and has a history of the plane.

(42-13300 was written off in Texas in 1943 after a landing accident.)

RSwank:
Thank you for catching the error of the serial number. I do not have all of the P-38 IARc like I do with the P-51s. Your keen input and observatins are always appreciated. Ted 51
