Re: American aircraft photos 8 - 12

I know little about Army practices but the "dot" appears to be restricted to FY41 aircraft built by the St Louis plant and, as an abbreviation of the dash, makes it easier to fit the full serial number on the fin. Presumably it's use was approved by the Army inspector at the St Louis factory?
