Came across this database for US a/c produced between 1941 & 1945.
http://home.att.net/~jbaugher/1941_1.html
Just change the year and page number for subsequent years and pages. I have pasted these into word to give a search able database. Year 1942 stretches to 991 word pages although 1943 is only 5. Example:
41-001 Platt-LePage XR-1
In storage at NASM Garber facility bldg. 7, Suitland, MD
41-002/003 Boeing XB-29 Superfortress
c/n 2482, 2481
002 scrapped May 11, 1948.
003 crashed Feb 18, 1943 after inflight fire. Eddie Allen, Bob
Dansfield, 6 other crew and 20 people on the ground were killed.
41-004 Tucker XP-57
Contract cancelled. Number reissued to Douglas XB-31, which was
also cancelled.
Might be useful for those wanting to find history of particular a/c
