Hi Leo,

Sorry for not getting back before now with your other posts.

GPW 12102 should have come from the Dallas, Tx. assembly plant. The hood number 2066889 is in line for a Dallas GPW with a DoD of about April 7. '42.

GPW 2647 should have come from the Dearborn, Mi. assembly plant. Odds things were happening with the hood numbers on the first GPW contract at Dearborn. So for right now all I can give is a range of 2055425 through 2055525.

I'm in the process of purchasing GPW 2647, DoD 2-26-42 from Leo Jankowski. I believe it may be already accounted for in this thread. Since the original registration number is unknown, can someone post an estimate? It should be in the 205XXXX, correct?

Hi Michael,

Hood number 2056143, I believe, should be with-in about 75 numbers plus or minus.

3926 is now mine, picked it up from USAFPJ a week or so ago. Removed most of the extra tin but so far no numbers have shown up.

Hello,

From my GPW studies and database, Your GPW 839 should have come from the Dearborn, Mi. assembly plant.
