The Boeing B-17G, named "Tom", operated on a flight from Prague to Stockholm. It diverted to Göteborg due to bad weather and the passengers deplaned. The aircraft was subsequently ferried back Stockholm-Bromma Airport but crashed on approach in bad weather.
The aircraft was originally operated by the U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF) as 42-31163. It force landed in Sweden on March 6, 1944 after being attacked by a fighter.
It was interned by Sweden and converted by SAAB to a passenger transport. All armament, turrets and armor was removed except for the tail gunners seat. A lookout was placed there because two civilian Swedish DC-3's had been shot down by Luftwaffe during the war.
