Hi Lee

No, it would appear from reports on www.airpirates.com including documents that this was 44-2485 - details I have in The Warbird Index for this are:

Assigned to Soviet AF - accident forced landing on frozen lake during delivery flight, Carpenter Lake British Columbia, Canada 6 December 43 - wreck recovered from lake by Garry R. Larkins, Auburn CA Jul90/91 for rebuild for Canadian Museum

Anyone have more information as to the fate of 44-2485?
