I don't know where they were built, but to add to the s/n and c/n
tie-ups you posted on that site, I can add that the first three had USAF
serials:
22101 51-2687
22102 51-2688
22103 51-2689

As far as I've been able to determine, the rest did not receive USAF
serials. I know someone who obtained copies of the microfilms from the
AFHRA when he was looking into this and he only found USAF serials for
those three.

However, he also found USAF acceptance dates and the dates of USAF
receipt for 22112 through 22135. In almost every case, the RCAF t/o/s
dates were the same, one day later, or two days later than the USAF
receipt dates. There were no USAF acceptance or receipt dates for the
first eleven aircraft, including the three that had had USAF serials.

I don't know why aircraft without USAF serials were accepted and
received by the USAF before they were handed over to Canada or, to look
at it another way, why aircraft that the USAF accepted and received
weren't assigned USAF serials.

None of which answers where they were built, but maybe it will lead to
finding out more info about the RCAF's C-119s.

(And wouldn't it be nice if one of the many ex-RCAF C-119s preserved in
the U.S. could come home to Trenton or Downsview?)
