Dating airborne Cushman 53

Post by hummermark » Wed Mar 21, 2018 1:04 pm

Hi is there any way to date a airborne Cushman i.e. Month year?
Or can the engine be dated via the engine number?

From what I have found out Cushman made the airborne 53 from 1944 through to end of war but can not find out what month they started in 1944 and all the ones I come across all say they are 1944!
So how do you know if your Cushman is 1944 or 1945 ?
