VT-AQX Stinson Model
A
(c/n 9127)
This oft published picture came
originally from Air-India. In 1941 the Indian Government acquired
five Stinson Model As for Tata Air
Lines. All but one (this one) had prior US registrations, and were
probably ex-American Airlines machines although I have not been able to
confirm this. Since, as stated,
c/n 9127
did not go to India until after WW II had broken out, it seems that it
must have had some
previous identity, unless it remained unused at Wayne, Michigan for
some seven years In the above
shot the
aircraft appears to be wearing some sort of camouflage, which would
have been appropriate
for this
period of operation. The disposition of all five of these
Stinsons is unknown. Probably scrapped.
