Question about two numbers on a data plate
Hello I have, on a data plate, two numbers for which I need some help. The plate belongs to a component of a C-47
- First one is 3141551-1 and is a part number. Is there someone who have a parts catalogue and who can check in the Exhaust Manifold Sytem parts to see if he find this number (I cann't find it in my parts catalogue) - second one is W535 AC32725. It's the USAAF contract. Is there a possibility to know the range of A/C serials which were built under this contract? Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Question about two numbers on a data plate
The aircraft identification card for 42-100803 show also a contract number AC-32725 But which is the begining for this contract? s/n 18899 (42-100436) to s/n 20598 (43-16132) were built at Long Beach with following constructor numbers. s/n 18898 (43-22751) was a A-26C-25-DT any idea? or do you know a place to ask about the contract numbers?
