Wartime History This aircraft crashed during World War II or the immediate postwar period near Chaing Mai. Wreckage Between July 31, 2000 to August 1, 2000 a team from US Army CILHI investigated the crash site and recovered a landing gear strut dataplate, but no human remains, personal effects or material evidence that indicated anyone was aboard when it crashed. Several empty morphine bottles, gauges and part of the instrument panels were found. On August 1, 2000, CILHI inquired with Michael Claringbould about the wreckage. He thinks it might be possible that the plane crashed between 1945 and 1947 when Allied forces were in Mae Hong Son area. Or, a private individual who had purchased the aircraft as war surplus and later crashed. After Michael Claringbould was provided with the data information from the landing strut and description of the engine, determined the engine was a Boeing Spearman, and his records show there were no American losses in the Mae Hong Son Province area during World War II.
