Williams 1980
Wartime History
Precise wartime history unknown.
Wreckage
Abandoned in a taro swamp area to the south-west of Moen No. 1 Airfield (Chuuk Airport) on Moen Island.
Dick Williams reports:
"When I was there in 1969-70 she was still up on her gear. Clearly a Japanese
plane because of the reddish primer, while US planes used zinc chromate."
Sometime in 2000? this aircraft was salvaged, loaded onto a barge an exported from the island. The export details of this aircraft are unclear, but it is likely that it became part of the collection of Paul Allen / Flying Heritage Collection.
