The DC-6 still carried United Air Lines passengers in the late 1960s. N37528 served with them from 1947 until 1968. This is a small fragment of an overview photo, still of decent quality thanks to a large scan of a good 4×5 in negative. Photo by: Marshall Moxom / SFO Museum

A pre-delivery publicity shot of the ill-fated VH-BPE. On October 29, 1953 it flew into the ground while on approach to San Francisco killing all 19 onboard including renowned violinist William Kapell. The accident led to the end of BCPA, owned by the Australian, New Zealand and British governments. Qantas took over the trans-Pacific route and TEAL, a joint NZ-Australian airline, took over BCPA's remaining DC-6s as it prepared to end flying boat services.

"New Luxury Airliner: New giant of the airways, United Air Lines' five-mile-a-minute, four-engine Mainliner 300 has been making cross-country operational and training flights and visiting cities along United's coast-to-coast and Pacific Coast route prior to going into scheduled service about April 1. The Douglas-built luxury liner, commonly referred to as the DC-6, is capable of coast-to-coast flights in 8 ½ hours and will carry 52 to 56 passengers plus 5,400 pounds of cargo. United is taking delivery of 35 of these new postwar planes." (United Air Lines Photograph No. 241)
