Photo Comment

Delivered to the USAAF in December 1943 as 42-100857. Civilianized as NC70 and later N23 & N41 operating for the CAA/FAA. Written off in a ground accident at Kenai in November 1975 and although registered as N2273K never flew as such and the aircraft was later transported to Kulis ANGB as part of the National Museum of the United States Air Force Loan Program. Later painted in false Alaska ANG markings as '0315497'. Moved to Elmendorf Air Force Base when Kulis ANGB closed in 2011.
