SP-LCE,
seen above in another of Wydawnictwo Stratus' rare shots, was one of
several
ex-USAAF
Skytrains
used by LOT as freighters immediately after WW II.
Released to the airline in 1947, it is
still carrying
its military serial.

of its ilk,
it was leased in

Iran Air, and became EP-AEF. It was
written off
performing a wheels up
landing at
Bandar Abbas Airport, Iran on 17 March 1967.
