This aircraft was delivered to the USAAF on 13th June 1944. It was shipped to the 13th Air Force in the South Pacific on 30th July 1944.
After the war it was found in an aircraft dump on Biak Island, Indonesia and bought by Lt. Col. Meeuwenoord and Capt. Renard. The aircraft received the civil registration PK-SAM.
In 1948 it was transferred to the ML-KNIL (NEIAF = Netherlands East-Indies Air Force) were it was registered T-400.
In 1950, when NEIAF ceased to exist, the Norseman was handed over to the Indonesian Air Force, the AURI. Further history is not known.
