Does anyone know if there is a list of VVS aircraft serial numbers? Main interest would be Lend-Lease aircraft. I'm starting to think that they just used the serial number that the lending country had given the aircraft, but I'm not sure. Also, does anyone know if Spitfires used by the USAAF received USAAF S/Ns?
Thanks.
