History of the aircraft:
Built from 1939 the 631 was used for passenger transport and then mainly as a cargo plane until 1955. Eleven of them were built.
Air France used 8 of them for its West Indies routes. The aircraft was not very profitable as it was subject to many technical problems and was soon replaced by the Lockheed Constellation.
