First flown by the USAAF in 1943 then the USMC, this Commando was converted to Super 46C standard in 1957 and joined Varig, finding her way to Haiti as HH-22 in 8.70. In 10.78 "La Perle des Antilles" was re-registered HH-AHA and continued in service for another 10 years or so before being wfu at Port-au-Prince, where she remained in a very derelict state This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
