Liberator IX serial number question.
Hello,
I am a little puzzled over the serial numbers of the Liberator IX's. From the Air Britain RAF Aircraft serial numbers books KA100 - KZ999 and JA100 - JZ999 Matched with the USN Bu Nos via the Joe Baugher .com USN serial number site We have the following - 27 a/c 90021 - JT973 through to 90047 - JT999. Then 64 a/c 90048 - JV936 through to 90111 - JV999. But only JV936 as JV937 to JV999 (63 a/c) were not delivered. What became of those 63 a/c that were not delivered ? Then we have 168 a/c KE118 to KE285 not delivered. However for this last batch of Liberator IX's if we look at the Air Britain book "The British Air Commission & Lend-Lease" on page 125 we have for the KE serial batch only the following - KE266 - KE285 (29) 90112 -90131 (20) Cancelled. So firstly KE266 to KE285 is only 20 a/c so is the number (29) a printers error ? Then were did those a/c numbered KE118 to KE265 go ? Finaly what became of those KE266 to KE284 ? Thanks Alex |
