[Vincenzo]

Added Transport

 

[FLYBOYJ]

Very cool!

 

[Vincenzo]

Ty Flyboyj.

added utility transport utility planes.

i've ended if some is interessed to other planes (Hospital, Ambulance, Trainer) tell me i look for the model you want.

i'm going to build the list with only with planes assigned to squadrons/unit (since 14/4/44 in the list there are plane with POOL as unit i think this planes were write off not actual accident).
some can help with this identifications ( all in the unit column)
AROU-2
ACORN-30 PL
SERVRON variois numbers
AA RH
COMAIRPAC
A.A.
CASU with or w/o -F various numbers

i think that all planes "losses" from this are more easily write off some can help?

 

[Vincenzo]

So nobody can help with that acronyms?

 

[VBF-13]

Have you tried emailing the website? Maybe somebody there may have an idea, they just didn't list it.

E-mail: [email protected].

COMAIRPAC is Commander, Air Force, Pacific Fleet.

 

[Vincenzo]

Only loss in squadron or other units i think were combat unit, only combat planes (fighters, bombers, scout, patrol) need a few time to complete.

VBF13 ty for the idea but i don't think my english is enough

 

[VBF-13]

I sent them an email. I don't know if I'll get a reply. In the meantime, I have some research for you, on all but two ("AA RH" and "A.A."). Here we go...

AROU-2 = Aviation Repair and Overhaul Unit 2
Clarence James Rives Jrt.

ACORN-30 = Aviation Construction Ordinance Radar Naval 30
ACORN - Aviation Construction Ordinance Radar Naval.

SERVRON = Service Squadron
ServRon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

CASU = Carrier Aircraft Service Unit
CASU(F) = Carrier Aircraft Service Unit (Forward)

"When originally organized, the CASU was set up to handle carrier type of aircraft only, hence the name Carrier Aircraft Service Unit. However, in the forward areas the CASUs found themselves working on all types of aircraft, even working on some of the Army's fighters and bombers. Recently, the CASUs of the forward areas had their designations changed to Combat Aircraft Service Unit (F), the "F" standing for Forward. In the same shift, some of the PATSUs had their designations changed to CASU(F)." Quoted from: 68 - This is CASU - WWII Archives.

POOL = The POOLs were just wings of various spare aircraft stationed at various stations and when they weren't deployed to specific squadrons they remained at the station in basically a guardian role. These .pdf files should give you some idea of what those consisted of:

http://www.history.navy.mil/a-record/ww-ii/loc-ac/1944/feb/29-2-44.pdf;
http://www.history.navy.mil/a-record/ww-ii/loc-ac/1944/feb/8-2-44.pdf;
http://www.history.navy.mil/a-record/ww-ii/loc-ac/1944/feb/15-2-44.pdf.

PS: By the way, Vincenzo, I'm just going to bet, your English is much, much better than my Italian!

 

[Vincenzo]

Ty for the research VBF-13. specially thanks for the links for "Location....."
So is easy that most of the planes listed as accident losses for thys type of units are write off.

i've many years to practice with my fantasy english, i just know very few words in english the others i take from italian and give them a english form
unlucky this is not possible with the phrases construction

 

[VBF-13]

It was my pleasure, Vincenzo. This is an interesting look at each aircraft like this. Grazie.

 

[Vincenzo]

Completed also the lisf for losses in combat unit, or almost that i thinked were combat unit

 

[GregP]

Vincenzo, thanks for the great link. Appreciated.
