The USAAF/USAF system didn't permit any fun aircraft, like B1RDs.


The Navy system didn't allow a B1RD.



Ah, but it DID allow R4Q and R4Q2

No, but it could have allowed R4Q-2, if a manufacturer had been assigned the
letter Q.

Q was assigned to:

Bristol
Fairchild
Stinson
Chas. Ward Hall Inc.

The R4Q-1 and R4Q-2 were the Marine version of the Fairchild C-119 Packet -
AKA Flying Boxcar.

The Navy system wasn't bizzarre.


The Navy system had multiple designations for virtually identical

That's bizarre.


It made it easy to identiy a/c (mental

No easier than the USAAF/USAF system, which had the advantages of order

and
logic.


But.
