Photo Comment
Built for the USAF as 44-70273 then civilianized as NC59786 post-1945. Imported for a G.H.Green as CF-JDG in 1956 (was it the first in the fleet?). Cancelled in August 1986 on export as N538DW and wrecked at Bronson Creek/BC on 4 June 1987 when a wheel came off on landing. A subsequent attack from a grizzly bear finished it off. The remains were donated to the B.C. Aviation Museum for use in the rebuild of CF-DRE. (Photo taken while standing on the Chimo Air dock.)
