C-76-CS, 42-86913

An experimental wood constructed transport. Built to work around the expected aluminum shortage, which never occurred. The design was plagued by many problems. For example, if failed static structural test of the wing eight time. In one case, with a load of only 40% of design.

This aircraft was delivered 9-30-1943 to Gulfport Tech School and put into Class 26, non-operational status, on 10-11-1943
