I'll let everone else fill in the blanks on the serial/bureau/N numbers & history.

Feel free Scott to take this for the registry if you want it.

This is ....

N2763A c/n CV-548 ex-N5609V, BuAer21232, 44-34037, BuAer68001 (not taken up). So, first in service as an OA-10A then a PBY-5A after transfer to USN.

Can anyone confirm the exact date it left Moses Lake by road and the subsequent arrival date at Chino please.?
