Editor Comment: Several Internet sites state that the NMUSAF identifies this aircraft as P-40N 42-65406. This is erroneous. 42-65406 was a YC-124A converted from a C-74, which was displayed at the NMUSAF from 1957 to 1970 when it was scrapped. The NMUSAF identifies this aircraft as shown on this dossier. |
