Wartime History
Wartime history unknown. Abandoned on its landing gear at the south-west of Moen No. 1 Airfield (Chuuk Airport) on Moen Island.

Wreckage
Remained 'in situ' in a taro swamp until 2000's.

Dick Williams reports:
"When I was there in 1969-70 she was still up on her gear. Clearly a Japanese plane because of the reddish primer, while US planes used zinc chromate."

Salvage
Sometime in the early 2000's this aircraft was salvaged, and stored on the island.
