This aircraft was donated to the Vintage Aviation Museum on Aug 5, 2024

 

We are still researching it’s history, but we do know that it was built in WWII, but built too late to be used in combat.

 

In 1957 it was sold surplus. In the early 1970's it was converted to an agricultural sprayer.

 

In 1989 it was withdrawn from use and placed in open storage. In 1993 it was ferried to Jerome Idaho and placed in open storage and has been slowly worked on since then. The engines are at Anderson Airmotive in Graingeville Idaho, the props, bomb doors and misc parts are in storage. It wll be transported to the Spanish Fork UT airport where it will be fully restored back to it’s WWII confiiguration.
