I have read this story quite a few times but I still wonder what happened to the aircraft. I hope it's in a museum or still being flown.

"After the war it was sold to Universal Airlines but was damaged in a storm and ultimately salvaged for parts."

- "December 7, 1941 and the First Around-the-World Commercial Flight". Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. December 8, 2011.

A sad end for what could have been preserved for history. It's a crying shame isn't it?

Is the history in the artefact or the story?
