Notes:
After 'Trucking Missions" classified as "War Weary" and to be retained by Group.
Assigned to BAD2, date unknown. Crashed near Tarskavaig on the Isle of Skye, on 23 Jul 45 during RZI flight killing all on board.
"The aircraft was used to fly soldiers back to the U.S. from Europe. This was an original 467th Aircraft, it served from April to September with a total of 38 missions. When the aircraft was nearing the southern end of the Isle of Skye the port outer engine (nr.1) caught fire. When the aircraft crossed the coast the port wing outboard of the No.1 engine broke away. As the wing fell it struck the tail section causing it to separate from the aircraft before the plane dived into a hilltop and exploded, killing all those onboard"
