Francisco,CA) and it was later, on 04 Aug. 1996, reregistered to John T.
Sessions Historic Aircraft Foundation of Seattle,WA. to
whom it is still registered. Currently (2013) registered as N877MG used as both
a display and an active flying aircraft for the HISTORIC
FLIGHT FOUNDATION of Seattle, WA. (Snohomish County Airport
{KPAE, also known as Paine Field} in Everett,
Washington). The FAA has inadvertently registered the aircraft as serial
No. 4193, and accordingly some one has fashioned a data
plate using this wrong information - the Douglas
production list does not have this serial number, it is
as a part of a series skipped. Causes much misleading information.

not known.
30614 missing Sep 23, 1944. Details and location not known
30615 crashed at Tezpur, India Nov 11, 1944.
30619 crashed near Goteburg in Sweden Oct 20, 1944 bearing civil
registration NC18618. All 6 onboard killed.
This was some sort of secret operation. It seems that
the plane was a part of
Operation Carpetbagger, which was a special program to
deliver supplies
to resistance groups in enemy-occupied countries, to
deliver personnel
to the field, and occasionally to bring back personnel
from the field. It
is believed that this plane was being used to fly back
to the UK Norwegian
aircrew trainees and American internees from Sweden.
