The RCAF acquired several war-weary B-17s for use as trans-Atlantic mail planes. Despite being described as dilapidated when delivered and suffering several accidents including a midair collision between Prestwick and Gibraltar, 9205 continued in service until December 1946. It was sold in Argentina as LV-RTP and finally scrapped in 1964. Photo from: Library and Archives Canada This photo was added on 2 May 2022, and has since been viewed 440 times.
