My mistake, pretty tired when I put that first email together.

The codes I am looking for are BLOT and NAF. BLOT I have since found out is the code for French Morocco, so this leads me to think my aircraft saw service in N.Africa and maybe Sicily through Italy before finding its way into Europe.

So does anybody have any info on the campaign with Piper L4Hs with what would have been with either the 5th or 7th US Armies (or NAF – possibly navy) from mid 1944 onwards. Anything in particular relating to 44-79587 would also be very much appreciated. Any USAAF Africa/Italy historians out there?
