Summary

Description
English: The 38th FS(SE), 55th FG at Giebelstadt, south of Würzburg (Germany) kept 30-32 Lockheed P-80A-1-LO Shooting Star jetfighters (s/n 44-85163 to -85216) in April 1946. Five month later, on 30 Sept 1946, the 38th FS(SE), now 307th FS(SE) transferred to AAF Station Kitzingen (Germany). PN-155 (s/n 44-85155) was not included.
Deutsch: Die 38th FS(SE) (Fighter Squadron, single engined), 55th FG (Fighter Group) in Giebelstadt erhielt im April 1946 30-32 Lockheed P-80A-1-LO Shooting Star, vermutlicher Serialbereich s/n 44-85163 bis -85216. PN-155 (s/n 44-85155, Foto) war im o.g. Serialbereich nicht enthalten.
Am 20.08.1946 wurde die 55th FG deaktiviert, ihre drei Staffeln/Squadrons wurden von der wieder aktivierten 31st FG (Fighter Group) übernommen, dies waren: 307th FS(SE) mit ca. 30 P-80A und einigen P-51D Mustangs, sowie 308th & 309th FS(SE) mit rd. 30 P-51D Mustangs insgesamt. Nach 5-monatiger Stationierung in Giebelstadt verlegte die 31st FG am 30.09.1946 komplett nach AAF Station Kitzingen, offenbar weil das SAC (Strategic Air Command) Giebelstadt für die Abstellung von 4-mot Langstreckenbombern Boeing B-29 Superfortress in Betracht gezogen hatte. Nach einem 8-monatigen Aufenthalt in Kitzingen erfolgte die Rückstellung der 31st FG nach USA am 25.06.1947, die P-80A der Group wurden zwecks Weiterverwertung/Umrüstung an das AMC-Burbank, California überstellt.
