Correct serial is 39-25. Delivered the USAAF in 1939. Sold as NC62477 in 1945 and fitted with a freight door in 1946. Converted to a sprayer in 1951. Impounded for gun running at Miami in 1960 and transferred to the USAF museum at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH. Flown to Cannon AFB in a C-5A Galaxy in 1980 and placed on display there. Flown to Lowry AFB, CO in a C-5A in 1988 and preserved at the Wings Over The Rockies Air and Space Museum there.

The B-18 Bolo on display at Wings (one of the five remaining B-18s in the world) has a colorful history. After training bombardiers during World War II, civilian owners used it as a cargo aircraft, aerial sprayer, and survey aircraft. In 1959 it was caught running guns to Fidel Castro for the Cuban revolution and confiscated by the US Border Patrol. The National Museum of the US Air Force loaned the B-18 to Wings Over the Rockies in 1990, and the Restorations team has restored it to its prewar bomber configuration. (from the museum's website)
