Mon Jun 11, 2012 1:27 pm

I'm trying to match up the Boeing c/n with their military serials.
Is there a list or database out there?

I have constructed a searman serial number list vs construction numbers. If you have 10 or less let me know and I will see what I can do for you. List is 150+ pages by construction (75-) numbers.

Get a copy of "Wings of Stearman" by Peter M. Bowers. It's the best reference work ever written on the Stearman and has all the information you seek in the index.

Thanks, I found what I needed in an Appendix to Bowers' great book Boeing Aircraft since 1916.

Many thanks to John Kerr for suppling the needed numbers. Now I know where to look. :wink:
