This particular aircraft came from a 1942 batch of E75s built to dual standard for the USAAF (as PT-13D) and US Navy (as N2S-5) and so after an order for the Air Force was cancelled it was easy to redirect them to the Navy. Therefore this plane, as 42-109200 with the USAAF, became 43139 with the USN. Sometime before 1964 the plane was flying on the civilian register and was completely restored in 1994. It was photographed in the hangar of the Commemorative AF SoCal Wing.
