Photo Comment

Ansett Airways adopted Braniff's livery rather than repaint undelivered aircraft originally intended for the US carrier. It remained the livery following the merger with ANA in 1957 until finally replaced in 1969. Braniff had changed its livery several times by then, sometimes boldly.
