It probably is a M62B. It was an export version of the PT with a Warner 165 HP engine.

'Steve, I do not have any means of scanning the whole card at home. I view my microfilms on a modified microfiche viewer. This displays about 2/3 of each 16 mm frame on the screen. I have photographed two images of the frame and added to them to the album I used previously. P1020246 is of the r.h of the card and P1020247 is of the l.h side - and there is some overlap. It is not easy to read as the reproduction is not as sharp as a scanned print would/should be, but here goes... Note the first typed entry line "DETROIT ATS GM ....... PT 19A 43 31604 3 9 6229 9 5392". Serial No. > date April 9th (1945?) > 6229 Reporting Station Code for East Lansing, MI. > 9 to or from > 5392 Other Station Code for Wright Patterson. I would guess this represents an authorization for transfer of "ownership" from GM at Detroit to Wright Field. Second line "CINCINTI ATC FRY ..... PT 19A 43 31605 10 10 5321 6 6228" Serial No. > date Oct 10 (1945?) > 5321 Reporting Station Code for Cincinnati, OH > 6 to or from > 6228 Other Station Code for Detroit Wayne Airport. Typical PT-19 card entry authorizing the ferry group at Cincinnati ATS to ferry aircraft - in this case from Wayne Airport, Detroit. Third line "DETROIT GM ... FERRY ACFT PT 19A 43 31605 10 14 5321" Aircraft actually ferried on October 14? Fourth line "CINCINTI ATC FRY RFC PT 19A 43 31605 10 14 5321 6" As above. Fifth line "ST NO 4000 DATE 101245 RFC CAMDEN 8 PT 19A 43 31605". Authorization for transfer to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation storage and sales center at Woodward Field, Camden, SC. It would be interesting to see what the FAA files had on N55076. Was it sold from, or near, Camden and what engine was fitted? I assume as the card still refers to 43-31605 as a PT-19A, the Ranger had been refitted.

Steve,
I do not have any means of scanning the whole card at home. I view my microfilms on a modified microfiche viewer. This displays about 2/3 of each 16 mm frame on the screen. I have photographed two images of the frame and added to them to the album I used previously. P1020246 is of the r.h. of the card and P1020247 is of the l.h. side - and there is some overlap. It is not easy to read as the reproduction is not as sharp as a scanned print would/should be, but here goes... Note the first typed entry line "DETROIT ATS GM ....... PT 19A 43 31604 3 9 6229 9 5392". Serial No. > date April 9th (1945?) > 6229 Reporting Station Code for East Lansing, MI. > 9 to or from > 5392 Other Station Code for Wright Patterson. I would guess this represents an authorization for transfer of "ownership" from GM at Detroit to Wright Field. Second line "CINCINTI ATC FRY ..... PT 19A 43 31605 10 10 5321 6 6228" Serial No. > date Oct 10 (1945?) > 5321 Reporting Station Code for Cincinnati, OH > 6 to or from > 6228 Other Station Code for Detroit Wayne Airport. Typical PT-19 card entry authorizing the ferry group at Cincinnati ATS to ferry aircraft - in this case from Wayne Airport, Detroit. Third line "DETROIT GM ... FERRY ACFT PT 19A 43 31605 10 14 5321" Aircraft actually ferried on October 14? Fourth line "CINCINTI ATC FRY RFC PT 19A 43 31605 10 14 5321 6" As above. Fifth line "ST NO 4000 DATE 101245 RFC CAMDEN 8 PT 19A 43 31605". Authorization for transfer to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation storage and sales center at Woodward Field, Camden, SC. It would be interesting to see what the FAA files had on N55076. Was it sold from, or near, Camden and what engine was fitted? I assume as the card still refers to 43-31605 as a PT-19A, the Ranger had been refitted. Tony
