The US Navy serials system started in 1911 with the numeral 1. In 1915 the prefix "A" was introduced to denote an aircraft and this practice continued until 1920. In 1934 the series reached 9999 and was restarted at 1 again, and continued numerically to 7303 which was reached in 1940. The third and final repeat was opened with five digits 00001 and having passed through 99999 developed into a six digit system whichis still in use.
All of the Canadian Military aircraft bearing USN serials were used by the RCN. The full serial was displayed with the addition of the words "Royal Canadian Navy" in block letters above the serial, aft on the fuselage.
The complete list of USN serials employed by the RCN is provided, and where the RCN used a three digit aircraft identification other than the last three digits of the serial, this identification is shown in the subsequent registration column. JA Griffin et al 1968
