Re: Ar 240 loss information
Accepting this logic, the question that now arises is how the original V7 and V8 differed from the ones eventually built, for it seems wasteful and illogical to cancel earlier airframes just to repeat the same work on the next two along. And then shuffling along the "A-01" title to the third airframe? Odd.
A-03 and A-04 were more severely modified, yet didn't get V-numbers but only suffix modifiers (A-03/U, if I recall correctly). More inconsistency.
As for 0015/16, "could be" B-0s or could be anything - is there the slightest suggestion of any order for B-0s?
I hope you see that what I am saying is not that the current description is necessarily wrong, but that it raises more questions than answers.
