Mission History
Took off on a mission against Hollandia. Afterwards, this aircraft and wingman A-20G 42-86615 pulled out of formation and became lost in bad weather. Finding the north coast of New Guinea, they followed the coastline to Yamai Airfield near Saidor where both force landed critically short of fuel. The aircraft was written off, and salvaged for parts by the service squadrons.

Wreckage
The tail and outer wing panels were removed, likely during the war. The rest of the wreckage still remains.
