| I believe this to be the only LAS Super 26 built. The Super 26 used the wings and tail of a Douglas A-26 Invader, lengthening, increasing the height, and pressurizing the stock fuselage. The remains (fuselage only) are reported to be with Air Spray in Canada as a parts source for their fleet, with the "XB-SIJ" registration still visible on the vertical stabilizer. http://napoleon130.tripod.com/id156.html has conflicting information for the LAS Super 26, as does http://home.att.net/~jbaugher/1944_3.html for the aircraft S/N and C/N. IF this is all the same aircraft, s/n 44-35994, c/n 29273, N5052N would be the base aircraft for the LAS Super 26; -or- s/n 44-35999, c/n 29278, N5052, N52NM, XB-SIJ used as a parts source for Air Spray #67 as CG-QPZ. I would suspect that s/n xxxx94 , c/n xxxx73 is valid and that s/n xxxx99 and c/n xxxx78 were derived from miss-read type. Your thoughts ? Sincerely, Rick | |
