The CW-20 prototype, originally flown with twin fins as the CW-20T - it appears in photo 367081 although the tail is not visible. Tail redesigned and airframe rebuilt as the CW-20A. USAAF took delivery of it as a C-55 (not C-46) but soon returned it to Curtiss-Wright so it could be sold to BOAC. Operated between Gibraltar and Malta. Scrapped in October 1943.
