LOCKHEED F-4-1-LO LIGHTNING

COMPLETE PRODUCTION LIST

TOTAL 119

Total F-4 Production: 119   NOTES 1 This listing was compiled for the purpose of matching MSNs and USAAF serial numbers and as a reference for anyone researching F-4 histories. It does not attempt to record the fate of every F-4 built. However, every F-4 known to have come to the SWPA is recorded. The compiler will welcome any additions. 2 The history of the 8PRS states that 41-2122 was lost on 05DEC43 near Hood Point. The pilot F/O Fred Cross was killed. 3 A document dated 4 August 1943 from Air Member for Supply and Equipment to No 5 Maintenence Group, RAAF listing aircraft received in Australia from the USA and the NEI states that three F-4s were delivered to the RAAF. They are identified as 41-2144, 41-2158 and 41-2159. As the latter two almost certainly became A55-1 and A55-2 respectively, this document implies that A55-3 could have been formerly 21-2144. Nevertheless, the status card for A55-3 is clearly endorsed as 41-2122. Despite the fact that this is the only reference to 41-2144 sighted by the author and is most probably an error, it cannot be discounted because of conflicting information that 41-2122 was lost in action by the 8th PRS.   Issue Date Remarks 2 27JUL12 Added the fate of 41-2202 thanks to Rich Faulkner. 1 10AUG11 Initial issue.
