Mohawk
Airlines Convair 240-14 N 6632C
(c/n 127)

In 1955, in response to Allegheny Airlines' purchase of
Martin 2-0-2s, Mohawk acquired a
fleet of
Convair 240s from Civil Air Transport, the Nationalist Chinese airline
on Taiwan.
Actually, these machines had been delivered in 1949 to Central Air
Transport Corporation
in
mainland China, but had to relocate hurriedly to Hong Kong when the
Communists took
over
shortly thereafter. Its original registration was
XT-604. When Mohawk operated it
they
named it 'Air Chief Nanticoke' (where did
they get those names?) and eventually re-
registered it as N1015C It finally wound up with the
U.S. Department of the Interior as
N1015G and was
damaged beyond repair after a belly landing at Buhl, Idaho in May of
1971.
