US aircraft service history – how ?

RAF aircraft service history, how ?

Hi forum-readers,

So far I have only collected copies of US, Canadian, French and Netherlands Air Force record cards. I am after one (at least for now) RAF card now. When I remember correctly obtaining this information has changed not that long ago (last year ?). Who can advice in this ?

Regards,

Benno

Obtain the 4n-nnnnn number and then see this page

and ask for the record cards from the Air Force Historical Research Agency which is located at Maxwell AFB, Alabama , National Air and Space Museum Archives Division.

And the Registration number is……………….

Alan,

Thanks but the aircraft has never crashed, it just passed into civilian ownership.

It became N99218, formerly B-26K 64-17657 and originally it was born as an A-26C 43-22649

.

They are also available form the commercial suppliers of accident reports, http://www.aviationarchaeology.com/src/reports.htm#USAF and http://www.accident-report.com/Serials/models.html

If you are interested in aircraft that were used in the European theatre then don’t expect much from the records. I got on for a P-47 that was used by the 78th FG and 495th FTG but its record stopped when it was loaded on to a ship in the US. Only its eventual write off was noted.
