AeroMaster transposed the last two digits of "Duchess of Durham IV"s tail number. It should be 42-10463. Additionally, "Trixie" was a P-40F-15-CU, NOT a P-40L. (Which it is why it was one of the few P-40s of the 325th FG that was not painted in Dark Earth, and Sand as it came from a different lot of aircraft assigned to the group.) I also corrected the spelling of Captain Taylor's nickname to ZACK, and added the rank of Flight Officer (F/O) for Cecil O. Dean. (He was later commissioned.) (From multiple Checkertail Clan references online, and in print.)
