A quick bit of googling gives the USAAF serial of 43-681 for L-4B 9542. It appears to have been assigned to the 67th Fighter Wing, maybe the 20th FG at Kingscliffe or possibly a wing 'hack'. It suffered an accident at Kingscliffe 29/1/44 and was struck off charge as damaged beyond repair 18/7/45. Don't know if this was due to the same mishap or another one . It next shows up in France (F-BGPS) possibly via the French AF but more likely as a basket-case in view of the above.

The Liaison Pilots Assn may have more info.
