Corporate aircraft delivered to tycoon Captain George Whittall in 1936. He owned a vast estate at Lake Tahoe called Thunderbird Lodge. NC16048's registration was cancelled in 1939 as sold in China (CNAC) when the registered owner was Nevada Exploration. The link to Whittall is not known. There is an alternative story for this aircraft and that is it was delivered in 1937 to Pan American which sold it to CNAC. This photo clearly supports the Whittall version.

Douglas "Wrong Way" Corrigan about to set off on his famous flight to Ireland. Corrigan had been refused permission make the transatlantic flight and was supposed to be attempting a non-stop flight to Long Beach, California. 28 hours later he landed at Baldonnel aerodrome near Dublin. He claimed he had mistakenly flown the reciprocal heading to that planned. The Robin is now at the Planes of Fame Museum, Chino. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

A step on the way from the P-36 to the P-40. The 13 YP-37s proved troublesome and the type did not go into production. 38-474 was passed to NACA which used it for research. It survived until 1946. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

Cancelled from the register in May 1951. This early production aircraft was fitted with a LeBlond radial. Bellanca soon switched to a Ranger horizontally-opposed engine. Production was interrupted by World War II. Continual refinement the 14-9 after the war eventually evolved into the Bellanca Viking of 1967. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

Aircraft fitted with a Coffrin-Pike aerial advertising lighting array under the wings at the time of the photo. NC229M was one of the Boeing 80s acquired by Reeve Aleutian Airways. Written off at Anchorage on March 21, 1943. Also reported to have been written off at Sterling, Illinois, in July 1932. The FAA cancelled the registration in 1948 which would seem to confirm the 1943 accident. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution
