Talk:Bell 30

Flying backwards in time
There appears to be a contradiction. The page says first flight was 26 June '43, but the source says 29 December '42. Which was it? TREKphiler  any time you're ready, Uhura  00:26, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
 * December 29 was the first tethered flight as it says in the source. The first actual free flight was on June 26 1943. Hope this clears up confusion. Tombo7791 (talk) 14:11, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Surviving aircraft
Correction: Ships 2 and 3 were destroyed in the 50s. They were shipped to Globe Plant near Fort Worth in 1952 and destroyed a few years later. This per John Ball in 1997 letter quoting Ned Gilliand, a retired Bell pilot. Letter provided by   www. niagaraaerospacemuseum.org  The Buffalo History Museum actually owns a Model 47 NC-1H on loan to the Niagara Aereospace Museum. It is the 5th production model 47 and only one of the first 11 to be preserved. Visit www.niagaraaerospacemuseum.org for more information. Rszczepaniec  21 June 2021
