The USMC's version of the BC-611, the AMA, might have been available
that early, but I doubt it.  The AMA's contract was June 30th, 1942.
Unless they were put on a "fast track" production,
they wouldn't have been available until the end of '42 or
early '43.  They were intended for a Marine glider
force that never jelled, if the reports are correct.
