Re: "BW" serial number Husons in RAF Service

You can also ask the Air Force Historical Research Office for the American crash reports for free.

Re: "BW" serial number Husons in RAF Service

Thanks for the information Andrei. Are you sure about BW714? I never found any record of this aircraft in RCAF documents. There are a few other RAF aircraft that crashed in North America and were transferred to the RCAF for accounting purposes. They do show up in RCAF records, usually as TOS and SOS on same day.
