Crashed near Goteburg in Sweden Oct 20, 1944 bearing civil registration NC18618. All 6 onboard killed. This was some sort of secret operation. It seems that the plane was a part of Operation Carpetbagger, which was a special program to deliver supplies to resistance groups in enemy-occupied countries, to deliver personnel to the field, and occasionally to bring back personnel from the field. It is believed that this plane was being used to fly back to the UK Norwegian aircrew trainees and American internees from Sweden. (Joe Baugher)
