Yes, a 1941 colour photo. Ex NC18580, the 1937 D17 was bought from the Prest-o-Lite Battery Company by Bolivian pilot Capt Rafael Suarez Rivas Morales. His 'goodwill flight' to Bolivia from New York - Floyd Bennett Field ended in a crash in Washington DC. Capt Alberto Taborga escaped with burns but Rivas was killed. His body was flown to La Paz by a USAAC B-17B. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution
