Serial Number Register

I have used Robert Walker's excellent website on Canadian Military Aircraft Serial Numbers for the basic framework of the information on this page. Cross referenced US serial numbers are from Walker's site or if not listed there came from Joseph Baugher's site on US Military Serial Numbers. Information is from a variety of sources, and if not from Walker's site will have a footnote (sample) that can be cross-referenced on the CF Aircraft Bibliography page. Clicking on the small photos will take you to an external site for the larger size photo unless they are my photos and you will remain on my site. This is an amateur site and information has been collected from various sources and may or may not be accurate!
