Here is my contribution:

Site about the 1st Brazilian Fighter Group in Italy WW2

O 1º Grupo de Aviação de Caça da FAB na Campanha da Itália (1944-1945)

Their radio call was JAMBOCK and their moto was SENTA A PÚA! which translate freely as GO FOR IT HARD!

Using american made P-47D they were amongst the 3 foreigner Squadrons to receive an American Presidential Citation (the other two squadron are RAAF 3rd and 12th )

U.S. "The Aircraft Yearbook". I started these for 1935(535 pages) but they start in the '20s and go up to 1956 I think. Just change the date in the search header to save time moving from year to year. I couldn't get 1940 or '42 to download...

1942 downloaded ok for me.
If you try again and it still will not download PM me and I will dropbox it to you.
I could not find 1940 in the index at https://www.aia-aerospace.org/research-center/history/
