This aircraft is widely quoted, also officially, as CV-332, but this is not correct. It is in fact a composite aircraft constructed in 1950 by Aero Corp. (Atlanta, GA), using the fuselage of OA-10A 44-34085 c/n CV-596 (which is this aircraft's correct identity). But when in Sep 1950 it was officially registered as N1933M, it was given the fictitious c/n 332 (later changed to CV-332). Since then this error was copied for all its subsequent identities: TF-RVR, CF-FKV, F-WMKS, French Navy 32 and CC-CDT. C/n 332 was RAAF Catalina A24-16 (w/o 10 Apr 1943) and c/n CV-332 was USAAF OA-10A Catalina 44-33880 (w/o 18 May 1945). It seems very unlikely that any part of either aircraft was used in the construction of this Catalina.
