American aircraft photos 8 - 12

[Buckeye30]

Hi Stig. Is this one of the photos (Jan. 1943) on the St. Louis line; both aircraft are second in production but different Fiscal years.

As you say at some point in the last AT-9 and A-25 blocks they deleted the "dot"; the latest serials I've seen with them are 42-57061 (AT-9) and 41-18826 (A-25). In the other AT-9 block 41-5850 (near the end) had a standard serial.

No big deal but still interesting anomaly.

Nick,


I agree with Stig. Write that book. If not, and for others interested, a series of books that include Allied aircraft markings from the PTO.

Sorry Nick, for late reply.
Been in Tanzania "chasing" animals. No access to either email or TOCH down there due to some snags
created by ourselves.....

Anyway, what I ment with my previous remarks was that some (all?) of the AT-9 which began life with a 1.
plus block number, later in life was repainted with the fiscal year digit 1 and its block number without the dot,
that is the normal way we are used to see it represented.

Cheers
