I considered it, though most all USAAF units were flying P-40 until after the invasion of Italy. Actually, I thought about adding the P-47D-11 and the 190A-5, along with the Spit-IX and 109G-2. Might still do it...
The 325th was flying the P-47...
The squadron continued operations until 22 September 1943 when it flew its last mission with P-40s. Shortly afterward the squadron was assigned P-47s and men were dispatched to Casablanca, Algiers, and Bizerte to assemble the new aircraft. Soon after receiving the P-47s the rainy season began, causing the squadron to cease operational training at Mateur..

*edit* your right Sabre... I just looked at the month... Just seems like every MTO is the P-40 was just looking for something different than that and the spit...
