Re: Liberator IX serial number question.
There were two contracts for the RY-3, the first for 86 aircraft, the second for 26. Of the 112 total, 79 were cancelled.
Those built were 90020 and 90021, 90023-90050 and 90057-90059. One additional aircraft, which would have been 90022(JT974), was built and retained by the contractor. Several of the RAF aircraft were retained by the US Navy; others were returned at the ending of hostilities.
