At the time the aircraft had only recently been acquired by the CAF and the titles of a former operator, Ortner Air Service, can still just be discerned under the paint on the upper fuselage. Subsequently restored in USAAF markings and named "China Doll", it was for many years a common sight at US airshows, but in recent times it has been stored outside the premises of the CAF Southern California Wing at Camarillo Airport, CA. However, according to the Wing's Facebook page, it has now been moved inside and will be restored to static display condition.

Flown by the Confederate Air Force and painted in the old Republic of China markings (which somewhat resemble today's Taiwan Air Force markings). The Chinese 中国空軍 titles stand for Chinese Air Force. In the late 1980s this aircraft became CAF's well-known "China Doll".

Flown by the Confederate Air Force and painted in the old Republic of China markings (which somewhat resemble today's Taiwan Air Force markings). The Chinese 中国空軍 titles stand for Chinese Air Force. In the late 1980s this aircraft became CAF's well-known "China Doll".
