One of the most beautiful of the pre-war designs in my opinion. Look forward to seeing this one airborne.

CW-19R ex-Bolivian Air Force recovered from a plinth in Bolivia by Debbie Boostrom of Dixie Air Parts, San Antonio. The aircraft was flown to the USA by BAF C-130 and restored in Coleman, Texas....

Different aircraft, that was the Montivideo SNC-1, well on the way back.

The other CW-19 is now indoors.

Full stories on both these aircraft and a little known SNC-1 in the next CW
