| Reserching a planes history???
I am having a problem researching a planes history and I have a couple of questions that I think you guys might be able to help me with...
1) Is there a online database of aircraft serial numbers? If so, where?
2) How can someone deterimine what happened to a certain aircraft? Ex - Shot down? Used for target practice? Mothballed? Sold for scrap?
Thanks for any help you can lend me!

Country:  | well, that will depend entirely on the plane you're searching for, information on different planes will be found in different places, what plane are you researching??
