Dan,

The serial 44-63791 was issued to the USAAF on 13.12.44 and possibly saw service due to the time spent there in the UK as she was shipped overseas. I have no record for her in an 8th AF squadron however. The aircraft arrived in Sweden March of 47' and was brought on strength 11.10.47 after rework from her long inactivity. SOC 31.10.52 she arrrived in the Dominican Republic in 1953. Serialed as 1926 she was written off in an in country accident in 1967. The accident airframe probably went to TFA for parts and the serial numbered airframe dissapeared. The paperwork appears to have resurfaced, though I have not seen the website...
