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. Jack "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message link.net... "Orval Fairbairn" wrote in message news  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.
