41-25714 was completed by the Boeing Airplane Company on May 11, 1942 and delivered to the USAAF on May 16,1942. Its first assignment was the AAF Basic Flying Training School at Maxwell Army Air Field in Alabama. From here it went to the 67th Flying Training Detachment in Tennessee and later on to the AAF Flying Training School in Texas and used by the Women’s Air Force Service Pilots (WASP). In August 1944 it was assigned to the AAF Flying School at Goodfellow Army Air Field in San Antonio Texas. In 1945 the aircraft was declared surplus and sold and registered as N59293 and then converted for crop dusting. In the 1980s the aircraft was sold and partially restored and used for sightseeing tours before being sold to Michael and Andrew Porter in 197. They took 10 years locating parts for a full restoration and in August 2008 completed the task. In 2011 N59293 was the National Stearman Fly-In 2011 award winner for excellence in restoration of an Army Stearman.
