Here is a link to a pretty good description of the 5 different models and some operational history to boot. I know they did training out of Kissimmee Airfield here in Florida.

How many P-70's were produced ? The actual quantity seems to be a bit illusive but it appears it was in the neighborhood of "about 100".



Joe Baugher's site suggests the following numbers:

P-70 (59)
P-70A-1 (39)
P-70A-2 (65)
P-70B-1 (1)
P-70B-2 (105)

Doh!

As Holedigger has already demonstrated: When in doubt, check Baugher. :wink:

Nice glimpse in the background of a Fairchild UC-61 and a Cessna UC-78 in a combat area.
