Dear friends,
Some time ago I read (don't remember where) about the discovery of a T-6 Texan wreck in the Gulf of Oristano, near Italy. Identity of this AT-6A was given as 41-16543. Now I found out that this Texan was on the US register in the forties/fifties as NC55645 in the name of W. R. Baker, Union City, TN. It was cancelled from the register as "Sold to TEMCO 14/11/49 ?for military or export at a later date.?".
Any ideas when this crash happened ? On delivery to which Air Force ?
All help much appreciated.
