Aircraft transferred to the Indonesian air force in 1950. Twenty years later it was donated and shipped to Holland for preservation. It is seen here in the pitch dark old hall of the former air force museum. Sister ship M-458 is in a Jakarta museum.

This is the real McCoy, no fake identities here. This Mitchell started life as 44-31258 with the USAAF, but was immediately delivered to the Netherlands East Indies Air Force in Sep 1945 as N5-264, which was changed to M-464 in June 1947. In Jun 1950 it was transferred to the Indonesian AF, and after serving with them for many years (using the same serial M-464) it arrived at the museum in Oct 1971.

This impressive Mitchell is an original aircraft of 18 squadron, Netherlands East Indies air force, based at Cililitan (Jakarta - Halim) in the late 1940s. She served in the Indonesian air force from 1950 till 1965 and was presented to the Dutch in 1970.
