As 42-100773 this Skytrain flew to its USAAF unit in England via Brazil, Dakar and Morocco in 1944. Took part in Varsity paradrops on 24 March 1945. The Cuban operator sold her to Bolivia in 1953. Crashed at La Paz - El Alto on 17 September 1976. Photo from: Monroe County Public Library

This photo is said to show a hijacked DC-3 at Key West in October 1960, but obviously this is a C-46. Many hijackings occurred and although Cubana absorbed Aerovias Q during 1959, a 1960 date might be possible. Ex 42-107292, this airframe was not acquired by Aerovias Q until February 1959. Despite the word 'Bienvenidos' on the terminal, this does seem to be Key West. Photo from: Monroe County Public Library

Not to be confused with Aerovias Quisqueyana, Aerovias Q was a Cuban airline with the Q presumably standing for founder Manuel Quevedo Jaureguízar's family name. It ran a Havana - Key West scheduled service from July 1947. Ex 42-93736, CU-T-1000 served with another Cuban airline, Expreso Aereo Inter-Americano, before joining Aerovias Q. To Haitian air force as 3681 in 1954. Operated by CoHata. Reported stored at Port-au-Prince. Photo from: Monroe County Public Library
