Re: RAF Mustang c/n's

Holger/Alex

Air Britain does not list c/ns. I guess the best place to go is the North American archives which are now held by Boeing in Seattle. Best of luck!

In his book "Mustang - the story of the P-51 fighter" Robert Gruenhagen lists the following:

NA73 73-3098 to 3416; 73-4767, 73-4768 and 73-7812 which seems to be 323 airframes? 73-3101 and 73-3107 were delivered to the USAAC for testing; perhaps other a/c were damaged/lost during testing?

NA83 83-4769 to 5068.

As Alex says there does not seem to be any published evidence one way or the other to indicate that c/ns and RAF serials ran in the same sequence.
