Pacific Wrecks Forum

I don't think any salvage has been attempted, but locals from Burma and Indai have been carrying parts away for a long time. The story I heard was that some burmese hunters set fire to it many years ago and that the plane came down the slope

And I'm afraid Joe Baugher's info is from me--I was telling him about another C-47 I identified (42-92316) and added that I was convinced that CNAC 58 was the same as 42-15890 (which I am, in an optimistic sort of way). He took me at my word, but I'd still like to find some clincher linking the two ...

I checked the ATDB site--useless. The same info that is on the Douglas Production List. Confirms that 42-15890 was transferred to China but after that 'Ultimate Fate Obscure'.
