California Eastern
Airways Douglas DC-4 N88891
(c/n 10505)
This DC-4 had just
been acquired from Pan American World Airways when this shot was taken
at Oakland in September
1953. It was formerly 'Clipper Lightning'. See close
up of minuscule
rego below. I am not sure if it ever was
painted in full Cal Eastern livery since it was leased to
Resort Airlines a year
later. (Resort later purchased it). After many owners this DC-4
was finally
wfu at Lakeland, Florida in 1976 and broken up in
1977.
