Built in 1944 and served with both the USAAF and US Navy. Later it was repainted in the beautiful gold/black livery of Seaboard World and, being a common sight in Europe, was listed in the Ian-Allan spotters books in the 1960s. On 21 February 1973 it crashed at Barrancabermeja, Columbia after an engine failed. This photo was added on 12 August 2021, and has since been viewed 472 times. |
