The WH-3A’s were originally registered by the Martin factory M-579 till M-620. Because the serials in the M-600 range were not correct, these numbers were changed in August 1940 in M5100 till M5120.

An explanation of the registration system used: The NEIAF used a system in which the letter was a code for the aircraft factory and the first number referred to the purpose of the aircraft.
So M meant Martin and "5" meant bomber. The other numbers were in fact the aircraft number.

The serials were applied in white on the sides of the fuselage and the numbers were applied, in black on the front of the wing.
