Built as a civil aircraft and registered NC8943H, it was one of 83 of the type bought from North American by the USAAF for use as liaison and staff transport aircraft and designated L-17A, and in this case allotted the serial 47-1312. It was later fitted with new brakes and fuel tanks by Schweizer Aircraft Corporation and re designated L-17C. Later civilianised as N6724C it had a number of accidents, and was most recently restored by lately deceased Milwaukee Police Sgt. Burton K Ottow whose name it still wears. It was being offered for sale at Oshkosh with the proceeds going to his estate.

Built as L-17B 48-1011 but civilianised as N8222E in 1959 and sale reported to Germany in July 2010, although no subsequent German registration could be traced. The registration N8222E was cancelled by the FAA in February 2013.
