Turkish B-24s
 

As a specific board "neutral nations" has not been contemplated by Ruy :), I post this here.

Is there a way to match Turkish tactical codes to US serial numbers as far as interned US aircraft (namely B-24s) are concerned?

Thanks in advance.

Good thing that Serbia was 500 years under Turkey occupation so I can use some Turkey term in search:

Maybe you can make some additional search and find more info :)

Cheers

P.S. search in Turkey is said Ara or Arama

Hello Srecko and CJE,

Thank you for the Links Srecko, they look great.

CJE, have you the Scramble Book on the Turkish A/F army and Navy a/c ? it has a great wealth of info on ALL Turkish a/c since 1912.

As for the TAF B24's.

Serials 4001 to 4005.
4001 = 41-11609 "Little Eva"
4002 = 41-11622 "Town Hall"
4003 = 41-11596 "Brooklyn Rambler"
4001 and 2 could be the other way around other matches unknown.

The other B24's were -
41-11597 "Blue Goose"
41-23754 "Little Lady"
41-24297 "Warmaid"
42-40267 "Horse Fly"
42-40544 "Hitler's Hearse"
42-40608 "The Urgin Virgin"
42-40744 "Heaven Can Wait"
42-40777 "Flossie Flirt"
41-24311 "Hadley's Harem" Ditched.

There may well have been more .

All the best
Alex

Srecko, I don't talk anymore to someone whose team is going to kick France out of the World Cup in South Africa. :)

More seriously, thanks to the two of you.
