Operated by Qantas crews under contract to the USAAF on a courier service between Brisbane to Papua New Guinea. The "civil" registration was a radio callsign and the aircraft were not civil registered. 43-15436 was returned to the USAAF after the American headquarters were moved to the Philippines and the need to use civilian pilots diminished.
