Leendert will become famous soon enough
USAAF - IARC codes SOXO, GLUE etc.

Code SOXO on an USAAF Individual Aircraft Record Card generally means assigned to 8th AF en GLUE to 9th AF.

I gathered however that these codes, together with BANG and UGLY, originally meant the zone in England and Northern Ireland the goods (incl. aircraft?) were to be shipped to.

Did SOXO and GLUE change into exclusively 8th and 9th AF along the way? Or were the UK reception centers for 8th and 9th AF a/c in zone SOXO (Northern England) and GLUE (Bristol and London)?

Thanks for info.

Regards,
Leendert
