USAF 43-30240 was built in 1944. It participated in the liberation of Angers, France and then was abandoned at Angers - Avrillé in Aug-1944. It was restored and registered F-BCPY in Jun-1947. In May-1992 it was acquired by the Musée Regional de l'Air, later renamed Espace Air Passion, where it is both displayed and regularly flown.
