In 1908, the United States government purchased its first heavier than air aircraft. The aircraft, a Wright Model A, was used by the aviation section of the United States Army Signal Corps and was issued with serial number 1. Subsequent aircraft were numbered in sequence.
USAF serial numbers since 1921 consist of two numbers (fiscal year and sequence number) joined by a hyphen. This format is often mistaken for a number range by editors, and as such the hyphen is often incorrectly replaced with and en dash per MOS:RANGE , especially by automated or semi-automated editing tools such as AutoWikiBrowser .
The registration often denotes the aircraft type and maker. Some examples: HB-Axx two-engined aircraft from 5.7 to 15 tons, Aircraft over 15 tons due to shortage of Jxx. HB-Bxx balloons; HB-Cxx single-engined Cessnas under 5.7 tons; HB-Dxx and HB-Kxx other single-engined aircraft under 5.7 tons; HB-Fxx Swiss-produced aircraft like PC-6 and PC-12
