SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, ON THE LAST LEG ON IT'S FLIGHT, THE ENGINE OF THE AIR CARGO ACFT STARTED TO SPUTTER. THE PLT TURNED THE FUEL SELECTOR HANDLR FROM THE LEFT TANK TO ANOTHER POSITION & TURNED ON THE BOOST PUMP. THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING & THE PLT ELECTED TO LAND IN A PUBLIC PARK. THE LEFT WING WAS TORN OFF THE ACFT DURING THE EMERG LANDING. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE FUEL SELECTOR HAD BEEN TURNED TO THE 'OFF' POSITION, A CHECK OF THE FUEL QUANTITY IN EACH TANK SHOWED LESS THAN FIVE GAL IN THE LEFT TANK & ABOUT TWELVE GAL IN THE RIGHT TANK
