You have a picture of this aircraft, or at least a partial picture. See 44-6160 and you will see 42-102868 aircraft’s tail section in front of 44-6160. You will also be able to infer from that picture that 44-6160 went to Walnut Ridge to be scrapped between 1945 and 1946.

This is unless I have read the tail number incorrectly in that picture of 44-6160.
