Re: Wildcat Serial Numbers and Data Plates

Mr. Baugher's great website tells us that USN BuAer number 15351 was an FM-1, while 547 could be a Helldiver or an Avenger. Given the order the numbers appear on youre plate, I think that 547 is a manufacturer's serial number (or company number) while 15351 is the USN serial number.
