From Joe Baugher's US serials site http://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_serials/1944_1.html

 

14853 (309th FS, 31st FG, 15th AF) crashlanded W of Lake Balaton, Hungary, 30 mi NE of Hollabrunn, Austria Oct 11, 1944 after being damaged by fighters and flak at Vienna, Austria. MACR 9076. Pilot survived and became POW.

 

From my research on RAF Mustangs it could be anything up to 4 months to get an aircraft from the factory in the USA to the frontline operational unit depending on the transport situation.
