Bell P-63F Kingcobra 43-11722

[A36Apache]

Howdy, I've been studying the P-63Fs for a bit now, and here is some documentation I've got I am at liberty to share. This is slightly dry but good information regarding the 2nd P-63F. A big thank you goes out to Archival Research Group for digitizing this. These documents are from the file unit in the National Archives just titled P63F 43-11722. If anyone else has anything regarding this aircraft besides the report regarding the accident in 1946 and is willing to share it, please let me know, thank you.

P.S. This will require a second post in this thread since the file unit had more than 20 pages in it...

And here are the rest of the pages. Again, huge thank you to Archival Research Group for these scans.

Wasn't the P-63F that crashed into the B-17 over Dallas in November 2022 the second P-63F built?

Nope, that was the first one, 11719, that we lost that tragic day. 11722 discussed here is the second one
