Correct serial is 4110, ex USAAF 42-26762. Flown by the Brazilian Expeditionary Force in Italy as 226762 before being shipped to Brazil in 1945 and being re-serialled as 4110. Used as a ground instructional frame at Base Aerea Curitiba from 1952 and displayed outside the museum since 1989 as '226756' (which was written off in an accident at Santa Cruz in 1946).
