It's interestint to try to interpolate the progression of plane 884. Each image has it in a different level of destruction. Was it repaired and then trashed again or was it just used for parts?

Anyone have an idea of what happened to 884? Looks like it could have been ground looped?

interesting pics, thanks for sharing.

If I remember correctly, #883 was one of the airplanes Boyington flew on one of his last missions, actually the day before he was shot down. #884 might be the one that Denny Groover surveyed on 9/23/43...According to Bruce Gamble's book, I couldn't find a #884, but his sources could be wrong. #844 in Gamble's book was overturned on 12/17/43 by Lt. Moore; damage would definitely be a crushed vertical as in the pix of #884.

Be interesting to see what Nelson Ezell could do with that boneyard if only it was located in Breckinridge!
