There is no one source of information...rather than sifting through piles of magazines. Paul Coggan did a wonderful job of compiling the histories and Serials for the worlds surving Mustang population. (well over 200 airframes) A surviving combat airframe list would probably be a 1/2 this size. This, imho would make an excellent book, a wonderful study of "then and now"...color shots b/w shots, combat history, civilian history, derilict or buried history.
