Very rare, one-time visitor to Malta. The Super Constellation is "5T-TAF", which arrived at Luqa on 16 Feb 1968 and promptly impounded by the authorities for having a fake registration. The aircraft remained on Malta until destroyed by fire on 30 Jan 1997. Photo by Joe Spiteri.

The FAB flew approaching 100 Mitchells at various stages between 1942 and 1974, this one joining in 1946 and part of a batch of 64 aircraft purchased from the US in 1946 and 1947. Brazil declared war against the Axis powers in August of 1942 and FAB B-25s participated in the war, attacking U-boats in the southern Atlantic. They served from late 1944 with the 4 Grupo de Bombardeio Medio at Foraleza, while the 6 Regimento de Aviacao's 2 Group at Salvador operated a mix of B-25s, PV-1s and A-28s.
