first loss

but no combat before trans. to 486BG
before combat w/ 34BG; later back to 34BG as B/R
42-94851 The Big Dealer ORIG
but no combat before trans. to 493BG
42-94873 Feudin' Wagon ORIG
but no combat before trans. to 486BG;
later returned to 34BG as B/D
NOTE: When
Pedigo crash-landed 41-29562 during training, his original plane, named Cokey
Flo, was taken away from him and assigned to another crew. Thrun, whose plane,
Tommy Thumper, was destroyed, was given the Commander's plane, 42-94811, which
was renamed Tommy Thumper II and became D/K. This change of planes probably
also caused other shifts or planes and crews, potentially changing several R/T
codes before the first combat mission. Only a copy of the original orders,
matching Pilots to the planes they flew overseas would help sort out these
changes.
