Okay, these two are the same bird but data is erroneous for 42-92127. Now here's the story. The South Dakota Air & Space Museum somewhere along the line had a "3" changed into a "2" and showed the s/n as 42-92127. Arthur Pearcy's book, "Douglas DC-3 Survivors" also shows that s/n with Douglas c/n as 11893. Prior to my finding that book last week I never noticed the c/n discrepancy from the profile for N226GB. I discovered this when I was about to post a comment on the plane's history.
So I checked Andy Marden's "2010/11 USA Military Out of Service" and he showed the s/n as 42-93127, and that it was also USN BuNo 17193 but did not have the c/n. Referring to Bob Ogden's "Aviation Museums and Collections of North America," he not only had 42-93127, and 17193, but he also had c/n 13004 and previous registrations as N6517C, N55, and N67 prior to current registration.
So, I contacted the SDASM last week for confirmation, because I believed 42-93127 to be the correct ID for the plane. My contact there showed 42-92127, but was intrigued by my information so he told me he'd see if he could get in the plane to find a data plate. This morning I received an e-mail and the data plate showed the USN BuNo 17193! So, he said he'd correct their information there and I said I'd correct in internet sites I know about which have the wrong data. Someone made a slip of the pen many, many years ago and it never got fixed until now!
Interesting history of 42-92127 was that it went to USSR on Lend-Lease and was provided to a Columbian airline in 1951, but no information subsequent to that, so the author assumed being in Columbia is how the SDASM eventually acquired it. Apparently 42-92127 may still be in Columbia!
Okay, so the profile for 42-92127 needs to be fixed to read 42-93127 with the same c/n and other information as on N226GB so the two can be linked!
