    USAAF Ser. no. 43-15384 (c/n 19850) was actually a Douglas C-47A (C-47A-80-DL). This aircraft would be lost on January 22, 1945, approximately 50-miles from Luliang, China. All four crew bailed out of the aircraft, with three being rescued and one never seen again. See: aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19450122-6

    Interesting details Gary I only have it as salvaged 27 Nov with 313 TCG May I ask your source? Stig
  • Eagle0025 said:
    Hi Stig. I actually use several sources to try and ascertain/corroborate the most accurate information. I like to use Joe Baugher's site, Aviation Safety Database, aviationarchaeology.com, and Forgotten Props/Jets. In addition, I'll scour the interweb via Google. You can pick up a lot of inconsequential details that help paint a better picture when pieced together.
