Hi all, Do you use MS FSX? If so, do any of you own Just Flight's add on of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning? Specifically, I am looking for information on one of the variants included, P-38 J "Curly Six". I am particularly interested to learn the identity of its pilot, unit, and bases. Thanks, and Merry Xmas. Adam.
367th Fighter Group, 393nd Squadron 367th Fighter Group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Serial# 44-2356_ Fuselage code = 8L-O Piloted by: Jack L Reed
Many thanks indeed for that! Curious as to how you identified the pilot. Do you have any more info on Jack Reed? Thanks
I only found 2 sources, one linking him with the plane. One was a post on the armyairforces.com forum, asking for details on 367th planes Curly Six was one such plane - Pilot listed as JL Reed DOH - just looking back, I made a cock up. It wasn't H5-Q I read the wrong line Updated original post with: Serial# - 44-2356_ 393 Squadron (367th FG) Fuselage Code - 8L-O Pilot - JL REED The other source was just a listing of 367th flight personell listing a Jack L Reed
The last digit of the serial is missing, so this may or may not be the plane in question: Lockheed P-38J-25-LO Lightning 23564 (367th FG) lost Aug 25, 1944. MACR 8032 This is the only serial starting with 2346 that I can find, so it's just as likely that the plane itself survived the war.
