History of B-17G N131P (tropical fish transport)

[aerovin2]

I just added a post that provides a detailed history of B-17G 44-83439, which was used by Bell Aircraft Co. to help develop the RASCAL air-to-surface missile, and then went on to be sold surplus to be used as a tropical fish transport for Paramount Aquarium as N131P. It crashed in Colombia in December 1962; the wreckage is largely undisturbed some five decades later.
