Three 260hp Lycomings replaced by two 550hp Pratt and Whitneys in 1943. Destroyed on January 31, 1945 when port wing separated. Rest of aircraft disintegrated. Metal fatigue blamed, exacerbated by the more powerful engines. This photo was added on 13 March 2019, and has since been viewed 599 times. |
