This C-47's was delivered to the USAAF as 42-92449 in 1944. After WWII it became F-BEFB and was later drafted into the French AF as 92449. It passed to the museum in 1970 and was later painted in USAAF colours as 42-100558 in 2004 and is now on display in the new WWII hall. The real 42-100558 became CX-BJG in Uruguay after WWII.
