Served two years with Aerovías NPR. Converted into a landplane and sold to the Canadian air force. Registered CF-BRO to satisfy US neutrality laws. Crashed at Tampa, Florida, at the start of its delivery flight to Canada on October 12, 1940. Kofresi is the name of the aircraft, not the airline. Roberto Kofresi (also spelled Cofresi) was a 19th century Puerto Rican pirate, which explains the pirate artwork on the fin. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution
