In 1943 a Romanian AF pilot defected to Cyprus with this a/c. It was subsequently flown to the U.S. for flight testing at Wright Field in Ohio. It was then put into storage and delivered to the USAF Museum in January 1960. The markings in the slide were the first ones applied by the museum. The a/c is currently on display in the World War 2 Gallery in Romanian AF markings. This slide was taken in the outdoor aircraft display area at the original museum on Patterson AFB.
