was registered as NX19906. It was temporary registered as NX1940 for a
pre-service tour on TWA routes and advertised as "The 1940 Airliner".
Thereafter the aircraft was re-registered NC19906. Together with many
others the TWA 307s were impressed by the USAAF in 1942, while
designated C-75 and carrying a USAAF serial (42-88623 for this

In July 1944 these aircraft were returned to TWA and subsequently
rebuilt as SA-307B-1s. TWA sold the five aircraft to the French
airline Aigle Azur in 1951, NC19906 became F-BELU. Thereafter it went
to Air Laos in 1952, to Airnautic in November 1959, to CITCA in 1965, and
registered as XW-TFP to Cambodia Air Commercial in 1974. It was
written off in a forced landing in Mekong River in 1975.
