XA-AGB  (as NC20V) Sikorsky S-38B                             (c/n  414-11)

                                 

                                   Historic shot presented by Hilario Anaya of the Sikorsky S-38B NC20V just before being registered
                                   XA-AGB.   I have enlarged the tail section below for positive ID.       This aircraft was sold, new, by
                                   Sikorsky in April 1930 to the State of Yucatan who named it 'El Mayab'. (the name of the region in
                                   Mayan language).  Anyway, the amphibian didn't last long, being written off in an accident at Merida
                                   on 9 September 1930.
