08/31/2006. Remarks by Jack
McKillop: "These Model 48Cs were originally ordered by
Sweden but the US government banned the shipment of these aircraft
and they were earmarked for the UK. After the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor, all 144 were impressed by the USAAF, assigned s/ns
and designated P-66-VUs. This aircraft was assigned the
s/n 42-6833. One hundred four of these aircraft were
later furnished to the Chinese AF." |
