Re: A-26 Silver Dragon
Hello,
From "Foreign Invader" by Dan Hagedorn & Leif Hellstrom.
Nicaragua?
B-26B
FAN Serial 604
Previous identity
44-34104, N9484Z, FAN 420*
Taken on charge circa 1970.
Withdrawn from use circa 1976.
Remarks
Last seen at Managua May 77. Became N99420 in 1977, trade. Still flying 1992.
* The Bill of Sale in the FAA file for N99420 gives the c/n or s/n for FAN 604 as '507'.
The aircraft was initially registered as the former 41-39507 ( which was scrapped by the USAAF in1947), but this was later changed to 44-34104 ( which has the fuselage number '507'). The latter is known to have been sold to Nicaragua.
A-26B-45-DL.
44-34104
N99420
fuselage number "507".
Construction number 27383.
So looks like the a/c is displaying its correct serial number and was never with the 552ndBS /386BG, 9 AAF.
So does anyone have details of the a/c named "Silver Dragon" that served with the 552nd BS ?
Alex
