| "Shooter" ![]() | Luftwaffe aircraft with US Navy Bureau numbers! While looking some things up for a project I am working on, I came across a page of US Navy Bureau Numbers (BuNo) and stumbled on some interesting stuff: Quote:
US Navy and US Marine Corps BuNos--Third Series (120342 to 126256)

| Senior Member | Fascinating post. It's gut wrenching to see the ones just scrapped.

| What a cool find, Eric! I have to agree about the rare birds sent to the scrap heap. Sad to see any pioneering aircraft junked, regardless of it's origins.
