Does anyone know if Bell P-400 RAF serials were sequential?
i know BW114 was c/n 14-306 and i have 14-316 so is that BW124?

According to my good friend Phil Butler's book 'Air Arsenal North America', written with the help of Dan Hagedorn, the second British contract was designated A-1326 and was for 205 aircraft. These were AP264-AP384 and BW100-BW183 c/ns 14-171 to 14-375. I'll leave you to work out the math!
For the record, the first contract covered 170 aircraft AH570-AH739 c/ns 14-1 to 14-170 and the third was for 300 BX135-BX434 c/ns 14-376 to 14-675.
It is noted that the Bell designation P-400 indicated a pursuit aircraft capable of 400mph, although as built it failed to achieve this speed when carrying a full military load.
