HOW
MANY SWIFTS WERE BUILT?
There
were 409 GC-1A serial numbers; s/n 1 was not a Swift
as we know it, so count ...408. The Globe GC-1B's
start at s/n 1001 and go to s/n 1504, which counts
504 aircraft, but s/n 1004 was a converted GC-1A and
has already been counted, so subtract one. But looking
a little further along you see s/n 1527, so add one.
Total count for this series ...504. The Temco built
1946 Swifts total 329 serial numbers, but s/.n 2001
was a converted GC-1A so subtract 1 from 329. Total
count here...328. The Temco airplanes from s/n 3501
to 3760 total 260. s/n 3531 was evidently converted
from s/n 28 so subtract one from 260. Total count
here...259.
