Slat s/n 124845

Post by Ghigliona » Mon Jan 05, 2015 2:16 am

Hi everybody, I'm taking home a Slat s/n 124845, but the globe box with relevant data plates is missing. Can you help me in defining DoD ?

Was it a British contract or a US contract ?

Thanks !

Paolo

Paolo, Lools like DOD is first days of March 1942. Not certain date, but you can study the serial number database on front page
of this site. Here is an MB close to yours with listed DOD as 5th March 42:

Higher serial number, but 1 day earlier DOD:

Does anyone know if it was a Britisch or US contract ?
