C-119 MODEL - 3 attachments (1/2)

Sounds to me like you're correct. My knowledge of Air Force serial numbers
comes from years studying WWII USAAF practice, where with rare exception
there wasn't a problem with what decade the damned thing was built in.

I also NEVER understood the rationale for dropping the first digit from the
serial no. when it was painted in the tail.

there's no reason for it, it's just policy.
