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.

The Languedoc first flew as the Bloch MB.161 on 15 December 1939, then quite a modern medium-range airliner. Moved to Sud-Ouest (SNCASE) in Toulouse, production did not get under way until after the war. No 9 is listed as the first airframe completed in 1946. Early Languedocs entered service with Air France powered by Gnome-Rhône 14N engines on the Paris to Algiers route from 28 May 1946, but were withdrawn within a few months to be re-engined with R-1830 Twin Wasps. This registration was cancelled in October 1951. Photo from: Sud-Ouest

The Oxford trainer was developed from the Envoy light transport and Airspeed successfully converted surplus Oxfords to similar standards as Consuls after the war. Ex LX599, this one wears a Monaco registration and Monte Carlo Airways titles on the nose, but was never delivered to this company. It became G-AJAX instead and ended up in Israel. Photo from: Flight

This photo probably shows an accident that occurred after 8709 was disposed of by the RCAF. The accident is not in its RCAF records and it had in fact been stored pending disposal since 1945. 8709 was sold as CF-DUV in June 1946 and was cancelled from the register in 1949 as "written off". The caption on the photo says it was flying to Fraser Valley when it crashed on the dairy farm. Photo from: Revelstoke Museum and Archives

Pacusan Dreamboat made a couple of significant flights. In December 1945 it broke the transcontinental speed record from Burbank to New York. In October 1946 it flew non-stop from Hawaii to Cairo over the North Pole. This photo may show the crew being honoured in Washington on their return from Cairo but this is not definite.

Pacusan Dreamboat made a couple of significant flights. In December 1945 it broke the transcontinental speed record from Burbank to New York. In October 1946 it flew non-stop from Hawaii to Cairo over the North Pole. This photo may show the crew being honoured in Washington on their return from Cairo but this is not definite.
