Johnson Flying Service Ford Trimotor 5-AT-40 N69905 which crashed 17.8.53 was earlier used as seen here between 1.29 and 1.36 by Cia Mexicans Aviacion SA as X-ABCF. It was only purchased by Johnsons on 1.8.53 and had been converted in 1952 to 450 hp Wright R-975-28 engines in place of the P & W engines used by all other 5-ATs and seen in this view. It is speculated that the new installation may have involved changes to the fuel cock settings resulting in starvation just after take-off if the pilot was unfamiliar with the revised system.
