Ordered by American Airlines but delivered to the USAAF, VH-ANH ended up in Australia with the Allied Directorate of Air Transport. The USAAF, RAAF and Guinea Airways flew it with the callsign VHCDJ. Guinea Airways bought it postwar but was soon transferred to ANA. When Ansett took over ANA -ANH was passed between the various airlines in the group until withdrawn from use in 1970. Now part of the Australian National Aviation Museum, Moorabbin. Photo from: Libraries Tasmania

"Clipper America" was the second Sratocruiser for PAWA, first flying on 17 April 1948. Seen on a photo sortie, it was delivered on 19 March 1949. It was wrecked at Manila on 2 June 1958 when the pilot made a heavy landing which forced both main landing gears back up into their respective bays causing extensive structural damage. During the belly slide one #3 blade broke off and penetrated the cabin, plus the nose gear sheared off. Obtained from PAWA 60 years ago.
