Re: P-39D Serial 14A-465 info needed...
According to Phil Butler's Lend-Lease book Arsenal of North America, 14-465 (note no 'A' in prefix) was part of a batch of 300 ordered for the RAF to Contract A1476. Serials were BX135-434, constructor's nos 14-376 to 14-675. None of them went to the RAF, however. 187 went to the USAAF and 113 to the USSR.
By my calculation (you'd better check 'cos Maths was never my strong point!) 14-465 would have been BX224. 224 went to the USAAF.
