Bit on the small side. Production barely started when European war broke out (only airline customer was KLM). DC-3/C-47 already in full-scale use. As the US cleared the decks for war, something had to go, I suspect.
Anyone know for certain of the fate of the last survivor, said to be at the Technion in Haifa in the mid-60s? In the early 70s I was on a travelling scholarship in Israel and made a few inquiries, but to no avail.
