12/22/2006. Remarks by Jack
McKillop: "This aircraft was delivered to the US Navy on
February 19, 1936 for use by the Secretary of the Navy as a staff
transport and based at NAS Anacostia,
Washington, D.C., USA. The aircraft was transferred to the
RFC, the government agency
charged with selling government assets, in September 1944.
Between
1945 and 1979, it passed through numerous civilian companies and
airlines until the mid-1990s when it was transferred to the New
England Air Museum located on Bradley International Airport,
Windsor Locks, Connecticut, USA. The aircraft is currently being
restored in full view of the public in the civilian hangar."
