This is not US Army s/n 41-242 which was an AT-6A. It is almost certainly c/n 1242, the sixth DC-2 built, NC13716 with TWA and with Braniff Airways from 1937. Braniff's DC-2 fleet went to the Defense Supply Corporation (DSC) as of 1 June 1942. NC13716 was converted to a C-32A and was taken on charge by the USAAF on 18 June as 42-61095. The photo was apparently taken in the same month. Is the emblem worn associated with Braniff? The letters underneath read ASC or ASG, not DSC. Does anyone know more?
