Ex 44-78605. Sold to China National Aviation in 1946 and subsequently operated by several freight operators in the US before sale to Bolivia in 1976. Operated by Transportes Aereos Bolivar until 1983 when it was withdrawn and stored as seen here, before being bought and put back into service by Camba Transportes Aereos in 1996. Withdrawn again in 2000 before being bought by North East Bolivian Airways (NEBA). Sadly, the aircraft was destroyed in a crash at Santa Cruz Viru-Viru (VVI/SLVR) on 21 April 2012 while returning to make an emergency landing having just departed on a flight to Cobija This photo is copyright © Tim Spearman, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
