Re: Curtis Hawk 75's in French service.
Thanks Graham.
As for the H-751 (or H-75A-4), I intend to publish an article on this topic and I'm not keen on giving up my info on a board. |

![]() Hello,
Chris, I quite agree that you might wish to keep it for now until your A-4 article is made public. No problem, please let us know when and how we may aquire a copy. Many thanks Alex P.S The link between the underwing numbers and a/c serial numbers . What is the link between them ? From what I have read it seems that the numbers differe by one in each case. Why was this ? Also did the numbers AlWAYS run concurrently ? Thanks Again |

Re: Curtis Hawk 75's in French service.
Alex,
Thanks for your understanding. Don't worry, I'll let you know. U-001 is s/n 101 U-002 is n° 102 and so on... It works the same way as the USAF buzz-numbers and had the same purpose: identify the bloody pilot who turned sour the cow milk in buzzing around the pastures. |

Re: Curtis Hawk 75's in French service.
Hello,
From what you say Chris that would make the following DS+NQ = No:24 = "X-821" KQ+ZA = No:30 = "X-827" Correct ? But then would it also be true that No:1 = 12798 = "X-800" No:24 = 12821 No:30 = 12827 or did they not run concurrently ? Thanks Alex |
