[Milsurplus] Fwd: Those P-39s Still in the Crates...

[Hubert Miller]

Okay, so what was the point of that? A BC-375 taken in for repair, probably swapped out, and then ends up in another aircraft. 
I don't think the aircraft was grounded til its radio was repaired. 
Should be interchangeable, right? 
By assemblies, you mean connectorized cables, or what?

I have many  tags that were attached
to radio assemblies when I got them.  Many of those
tags have the serial number of the aircraft from which
they were removed.  Also a BC-375 identified
with a B-24's tail number stencilled on it
Actually found the service record for that aircraft:
it was transferred to the Navy and stationed in Maryland.
Used on patrol duty off the U.S. Northeastern coast.
So yes; radio stuff was at least sometimes marked
with the serial of the aircraft in which it was deployed.
