The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

N1698 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Pitcairn PA-3 OROWING (serial 28, cancelled June 22, 1933). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
