Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Ed..... slight correction to Photo 4, "543" is Ford's factory batch number not Construction Number; C/N 543 was B-24D 41-23748 built by Consolidated (to 93BG). All 3 relevant numbers applied at factory---not always marked in full---are on this new P-38J 42-104246; 765 is the production batch number and the last 3 numbers of serial 246 are over the Lockheed serial 3080 ( I think this system was unique to Lockheed).
