Delivered to Dutch East Indies air force in 1941. Escaped to Australia in 1942 and impressed by USAAF. Operated by Guinea Airways for the Allied military. After war sold to APL and registered in May 1946. Used on airline services but by August 1946 it was destined for New Zealand, where it became ZK-ALZ in November. Damaged by fire in February 1947 when petrol used as a cleaning fluid ignited. Under overhaul at the time and subsequently written off. Photo from: State Library of Queensland
