The problem with that is that the IARC very rarely gives any unit data once it departs US soil.
While in USA you usually get the Base unit details and not the actual unit at stated base.

The Air Britain book says (beside Ed's data) 9th AF 82TCS (Dec 1944).

To find out its correct where abouts you need to find the units ORBs.

Cheers
Stig
