Photo Comment

This is former USAAF 45-1064 that later went to France. In 1964, it was delivered to the former French colony Upper Volta as XT-MAA, but it retained its full French serial on the tail. Upper Volta was renamed Burkina Faso in 1984, but by then this aircraft had already been dumped on the airfield of Ouagadougou.
