05/15/2020. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "This was the first A-25A built for the USAAF, and the first of only ten A-25A-1-CS' (s/n 41-18774 to 41-18783), the only block A-25As with folding wings. Built at the St. Louis, Missouri plant, it was first flown on September 1942. Three months later it was pictured during a test flight, the white spots are not stains from the printing process, but markings applied to the aircraft. Another photo shows it with a replacement engine cowling with an out of line color scheme. The ultimate fate of the aircraft is unknown."
