A venerable Tri-Motor for Compañía Dominicana de Aviación. CDA was established, with Pan Am involvement, in 1944. This 4-AT served with Cubana de Aviación since 1930 and still wears its Cuban registration NM-4 here. Dominican reg not certain. The historic Dominican register shows a couple of 5-ATs but only one 4-AT, HI-2. If NM-4 was CDA's first Tri-Motor, delivered in May 1944, the 1946 dating of the photo is off.
