I believe you are correct....two lost, and I think both D-models. I don't know about the Marine birds, but most of ours had NO RWR (those that did had an ALR-46), and NONE had chaff, flares, or jamming pods.

The As had zero A/C....so they must have added it to the D (I never flew a D).

We had this discussion many moons ago: I still think a PT6-powered P-82 twin Mustang would REALLY be a great CAS airplane in the desert. 400-kt dash speed, 4000lb weapon load, 6 hours endurance.

But no service would go for a tail-dragger.
