| The info corresponds to a C-46 Curtiss YV-140C, which has the same N5807V. This is the full info I have: C-46A-10-CU built in 1943 as manufacturer serial number #26465, delivered to the United States Army Air Force on 17 April 1943. It is an old C-46, the 105th built (out of 3,181 aircraft). It is probably one of the oldest that still exists in one form or another. The aircraft probably remained in the US during the war time and almost certainly did not serve abroad. On 6 November 1945 it was transferred to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (US Government agency responsible for the disposal of war surplus equipment such as aircraft) at Walnut Ridge. It became N5807V in June 1949 and served with unknown US cargo operators. On 11 July 1955 it was sold to AVENSA as YV-C-AVK. At some time it was sold to Latin Carga as YV-C-TGH, and it was known to fly with them in 1974. In 1975 it was reregistered to YV-140C. After that no more is known about this aircraft. It seems to have mysteriously disappeared. There are no records of a crash on 01-08-1975, if fact there are no further records at all from or after 1975. Info provided by Aad van der Voet (classic aircraft researcher) This plane was found in 2005 submerged at 200 ft underwater by the Venezuelan Subacuatic Explorers Association (AVES) and had become one of the most interesting wreck for WWII airplanes history researchers | |
