A USAF machine for perhaps two years, from which period paint layers were still on the airframe after more than 30 years. Confiscated by North Vietnam in 1975 after the fall of Saigon and brought to Poland for examination in 1977. Acquired by the museum in 1992. Restoration eventually started in 2015, with the show result since 2017. This photo is copyright © Erik Sleutelberg, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
