Osborne shows '814 as at MacDill from April 21, 1944 to May 4, 1945 then off to Drew for about six months with the 327th and 301st BUs before ending up at Altus. What does the record card say?
Any ID on D R1?

IF that is D-R1 then there is an accident report that identifies her as 42-102698

So, three new Drew Ships

D-V1 42-102838
D-X1 42-102814
D=R1 42-102698

note: D-V1 was involved in a gunnery accident in December 1944 and her section was identified as Section 1, so this makes sense.
