Here is another link that deals with serial numbers of American Air Craft of all years. If you scroll down towards the bottom and click on a link a list of serial numbers comes up. It gives the serial, type of air craft it was, what happened to it, and the MACR number. USAAS-USAAC-USAAF-USAF Aircraft Serial Numbers--1908 to Present I find it pretty interesting, hope you do too. Regards, Andy
That is a great site. I've used it before, and really wish there was a similar one for the RAF. Cheers Andy
Thanks Andy - bookmarked this. Nearest I've found to this is the Bruce Robertson book, British Military Aircraft serial numbers, which I expect you've got. It doesn't give histories, but does match serial number to type.
