First flew in early 1940 as NX19906, and reregistered that year as NC1940 to match year of construction. Served on US coast-to-coast services. TWA flew 5 of the 10 307s built. Impressed as C-75 42-88623. Returned to TWA in 1945 as NC19906. Used on US regional services. Sold in 1951 to Aigle Azur as F-BELU. From TWA 60 years ago.
