Piper L-7 Monocoupe or Monocoupe 90AF

[roumsetom]

Hello,
Five Monocupe AF90 (or Piper L-7) were used by the Free French Unit from 1943 at Ivato AB (Madagascar, near Antananarivo).
Their serial numbers were 38.911,38.915, 38.921,38.926 and 38.933. On a photography, we find the serial number preceded by letters NC what could correspond to an American civil registration.
Both information which I possess are:
1 - A fund raising would have been made in near Frenchs living in the USA. Planes would thus have been bought with this money and sent towards Madagascar to help Free French.

2 - These serial numbers (or US civil registration) were maybe associated with following RAF number: AF834, AF838, AF844, AF849 and AF856.


It would be possible that this two informations may be connected.

Would anybody have the kindness to say to me if the RAF number above corresponds with L-7 aircraft?

Regards
Franck
