Aircraft was accepted at Bolling Field 24 Oct 1942.
Went to San Antonio Air Depot 8 Dec 1942 (probably for some overhaul)
Back again to Bolling Field 29 Jan 1943 and assigned to 16th PRS, 1st PCG (Photographic Charting Group).
16 PRS detached to Talara, Peru 28 Feb 1943, while the aircraft followed later (between 15 April - 31 July according to its card).
16 PRS then detached to Natal, Brazil 26 Sep 1943 and on to Recife 31 Dec 1943 and returned to Bolling Field 30 Aug 1944.
It is assumed the aircraft followed back with the unit.
It is known to have been on mapping missions beginning on 14 Nov 1944 and it was finally SOC (lost to inventory) 14 June 1946.
No further records so presumed scrapped around that time.
