A document dated 4 August 1943 from Air Member for Supply and Equipment to No 5 Maintenence Group, RAAF listing aircraft received in Australia from the USA and the NEI states that three F-4s were delivered to the RAAF (see below). They are identified as 41-2144, 41-2158 and 41-2159. As the latter two almost certainly became A55-1 and A55-2 respectively, this document implies that A55-3 could have been formerly 21-2144. Nevertheless, the status card for A55-3 is clearly endorsed as 41-2122. Despite the fact that this is the only reference to 41-2144 sighted by the author and is most probably an error, it cannot be discounted because of conflicting information that 41-2122 was lost in action by the 8th PRS.
