June 1943? Just a guess.

No, the 19436 has nothing to do with a calendar date.
Are you sure it isn't W535 ac 19436?
Based on the numbers, I would guess sometime pre-1942. But I am not an expert.

 

[glynny_123]

yes you are correct just checked the label that line should read NO.W 535 ac-19436 does that help

This original Aero B-3 dates to the 1941 fiscal year. The contract number would place it in the early summer of 1941.

Haha, just thought I would have a go, based my guess on plastic moulding codes. Oh well, never mind.

Some years back I bought a D1 with an Aero label for £10, was pretty shot, patched it up and got £50 for it at a car boot. That is to say, patched up the holes and put a repro squadron patch on it.
Also bought an N1 deck jacket with a direct connection to the USS Lexington. That one was also pretty beat up, I did not realise the significance of the markings so sold that on for £15 after wearing it to repair my car as it was a super warm jacket.

May be that you need a certain number of posts before you can post pics. If not, look at the third icon from the left. If you click on that, you can upload photos directly from your hard drive and not have to go through a third party server, such as Photobucket.
