One of the few postwar production DC-4s (not a C-54) arriving at Oakland on September 18, 1946 for the inaugural landing of ANA in the U.S. Since landing rights had not yet been granted, the plane merely stopped for fuel, and continued on to Vancouver where passengers disembarked. The passengers were later greeted by the press and given a luncheon at Oakland Airport during their layover in commemoration of the flight.
