Re: Photos Chinese Aircraft
Hi Stig,
The first aircraft in the line up I read as 85 and the next one back as 80. I can't say I have any idea about the significance of the numbers,but Lennart Andersson's A history of Chinese Aviation has a photo of a PT-17 with number 33 cowling and 216010 on the fuselage. Could the latter number be the 2 from the US year 42- and the remainder the individual aircraft serial so 42-16010. It appears to make sense. If so the number on the cowling is unrelated and thus both that photo and the machines on ebay show flying school numbers on the cowling.
Regards,
Clint
