Have we discussed WW2 Army-Airforce production numbers?
Do others have this info from "Table PR-10 Quantities of Major
Items procured by Signal Corps by Year of Delivery: 1 Jan 1940
- 31 Dec 1945" publication 1952 ?

Thanks to a friend who probably prefers to remain unnamed, i 
have this, but a photocopy of a photocopy, and in spots requires
some close looking. In some cases without further close examination
the 3 and 5 figures were so similar that a mistaken interpretation  may
have been done by me. Some interesting extracts:
