Recently put on display for following restoration. Delivered to the US Navy as Bu12481 in 1943 and struck off in October 1946. Later became NC9200H, ZS-DAX, SA-AAF and N15A. Last flown as such by State Airlines before being acquired by the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in the early 1970s and loaned to the museum at Pima. Officially donated to the museum in 1985. After many years in storage, restoration commenced in 2021. This photo is copyright © Tim Spearman, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
